First, you don't need angle-brackets for domain-level routing. However, I
don't think that you can use domain-level routing to route to a local
account (*.co.uk = spambox), except for the special accounts 'error' and
'null'. You'd need to use 'foreign aliasing':
<*@somedomain.co.uk> = spambox
Unfortunately, you can only have one wildcard on the left side of the entry
and that wildcard can't be in the domain portion of the address, so
<*@*.co.uk> = spambox
which would seem to accomplish what you're trying to do, won't work. You
have to route specific domains into your spambox account, as with the first
example above.

You could use either
*.co.uk = error
which will bounce any message with a co.uk domain in its return-path, or
*.co.uk = null
which will simply discard messages without delivering them anywhere and
without generating a bounce message.
