I'm starting to get spam now addressed to my "abuse" account
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>! And some of it appears to be coming from IP's in
my blacklist! This is, of course, possible because I have to "whitehole"
the abuse account to deal with anyone I have inadvertently blacklisted.
Talk about your Catch-22's!

Spam to abuse@ and postmaster@ was one of the reasons I switched to Postfix and SpamAssassin. At least that way, it's all tagged as spam and I can quite quickly look it over. I also have some "freemail" blocks that only accept, for example, a message from yahoo.com if it is being delivered BY yahoo.com. (or MSN, hotmail, etc). I need to add ebay and paypal as well, not that the fraud html forms are starting to make their way through spam filters.
