I think the smart spammers would make a point of finding out who the

I wish the spammers sending me 2000+ messages a day were that smart. Only
2 or 3 make it through all the filters, but I still have to go through 600+
a day in the spam quarantine.
A worse problem is the 100+ postmaster emails a day I get. Every single
one I've looked at is a failure to deliver a DSN for some spam that we
queued for a customer as their secondary MX. However, one of these days
someone will try to tell me something important via the postmaster alias, and
I'll never see it.
