Three out of your four objectives are markedly off-topic: there's no
reason for SA to ever see mail for unknown local recipients. Those
messages should be rejected by the MTA, using either your text file or
direct LDAP lookup: you should Google or post elsewhere for the
specifics. There's a large archive of envelope-rejection methods for
every popular MTA.
I like to use "tracking addresses" when registering with websites, by
adding "+websitename" after my username (eg.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]). I can then tell how a spammer
got my address. Alas, a lot of web coders exclude "+" as a valid character
in an email address, so I end up using a dot instead, and using sendmail's
wildcard recipient feature to route unknown addresses to me.
Anyone know how to get sendmail to recognize more than the "+" for this
feature?
