But it is NOT spam, which means that you screwing up the scores for
BAYES based on these types of mail is simply screwing yourself.
Yeah, I'm the greatest lamenter of my decision to catch-all years
ago, but there's really no realistic way I'm gonna be able to go
back on that.
Yes there is. Grep your mailspool for the To Addresses, sort -u to
get unique ones, and use that list to create your accepted email
address list. Turn off that catch-all and then start with unique
addresses correctly. If you don't want to use address extensions (plus
addressing) then you can probably do something like:
webb...@mydoamin.tld which is still a catchall of sorts, but
infinitely better than *...@mydomain.tld.
I've probably registered with various sites using over 100 usernames
now. I'm just gonna have to live with that.
/etc/postfix/virtual:
nyti...@mydomain.tld kreme
washp...@mydomain.tld kreme
flea...@mydomain.tld kreme
etc

You may be anti anti-spam-kook if: Despite having invented the
FUSSP you not only don't know the difference between the SMTP
envelope and SMTP headers; you doubt there is such a thing as
the SMTP envelop because email doesn't involve paper.
