Don't worry about it, it is the only one that I want to have the all mail
dumped completely. To solve the problem I created an account on my
hosting service call 'trap' with the unwanted alias. I then created a
local account called 'spam'.

I get fetchmail to collect the mail from 'trap' and deliver it to 'spam',
'spam' then has a procmail recipe to send everything to /dev/null.

Now when I put an e-mail address out there and it starts getting hit with
alot of spam then instead of it coming to my catchall account I can add
it as an alias to 'trap'

This is going to a temporary measure until I get spamassassin installed
and working. Does anyone that use spamassassin have any tips? Do you get
many false positives? Robert? I know that you use spamassassin because
you told me about it.

Humbug is on right now and I am missing out because of my leg, BTW I had
an ultrasound and it's not my Achilles, I busted one of the calf muscles
and it will only take 4 weeks in a constrictive bandage not 6 weeks in a
cast.
