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!

Anybody else have this problem? What do you do? Just trash the spam and
go on?

As I understand it, the only account you MUST have is "postmaster". An abuse account would normally be used for people to report spam from your network, not to complain about being blacklisted. Blackilist problems, bad addresses, and other service related difficulties should be reported to postmaster.


If I were you I would just make "abuse" a spam trap.
