Looks like some particularly inept spammer is grabbing partial Message-IDs from the headers of messages on this list and trying to send email to them as though they were email addresses. Sad, really.

I've noticed recently in my MTA logs a growing trend of attempts to send email to numbered email addresses, such as:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyone have any ideas why spammers would be trying this particular tactic?
