Hmm... that's worth a shot.

Yeah, I've only just today stumbled into the lovely and helpful Ms.
LOGFILE_INCOMING. Sure as my butt has pimples, every message header in
there says that every message was To: kelvind@box

Makes sense. How do I kill it? A big stick?

We're using aliases, virtusers, and all sorts of silly stuff like that.
Yeah, some of the mail I get, got to me via an alias. But what I'm
dealing with here is stuff addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the
UNIX username who gets that mail is "kelvind". There are two virtuser
entries which are notable:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  address kelvind
@kelvind.com         address kelvind

I wonder... should I delete the two of these buggers and see what
happens?
