Using a plus sign in the mail address is a _very_ _very_ effective spam filter. |$ grep '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' /var/log/exim4/mainlog-20070920 | wc -l |70 |$ grep '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' /var/log/exim4/mainlog-20070920 | wc -l |77 |$ grep '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' /var/log/exim4/mainlog-20070920 | wc -l |44 |$ grep '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' /var/log/exim4/mainlog-20070920 | wc -l |81 |$ The number of messages _with_ mh+ prefix includes legitimate mail; the messages to addresses with mh+ stripped off are all spam, rejectable at SMTP RCPT time ("no such user").
