Which is really all I was getting at. They're both equally
unwelcome, and as I mentioned, I personally let spamassassin regard it
all as spam. It may not be the most technically perfect way, but it
seems to work well enough for me.

Interesting you should mention that, actually. I had a filter set up
for a while so any non-debian-user message that came to that address
was dumped into the spam folder. After a few months, this had caught
several off-list replies, and there wasn't actually any spam coming to
the address. So when I installed SA (recently) I dropped that filter.
Now, however, I'm noticing that *all* of the swen traffic I'm receiving
is to the +debuser address, so I'm wondering about switching to a
different suffix and /dev/null-ing mail addressed to the old one.
Basically a variation on the disposable-address trick.
Or I could take the plunge and switch to an address on my own domain,
on my own mailserver. (The current one is hosted by my ISP.)
But if I do that, I'll be all tempted to upgrade to exim4 with the
funky integration with SA to do SMTP-rejects for mail that fails SA's
scan... And school requires too much of my time to be getting into a
project like that right now.
Cheers!
