How do I filter based on the recipient mailbox address? For instance, I'm
running Linux, so if I get email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then I know they're bogus...
And can probably block it, even if some of the recipients are valid email
addresses.
Block *all* mail to a given user?
/etc/aliases:
bogus_user: /dev/null

Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on
the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn't place your
hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.

A good choice... and another way to accomplish the task (assuming
sendmail, I'm not sure about other MTAs):
/etc/mail/access
bogus_user ERROR "550 Go away - you are not welcome here"
or
bogus_user REJECT (acknowledge & reject message)
or
bogus_user DISCARD (drops message)
