/etc/mail/access weirdness

I have some email addresses disable in the /etc/mail/access file using
this syntax:

mchandler at woodmaclaw.com                REJECT

THE GOOD::
I will send a message to them and get this back:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  mchandler at woodmaclaw.com
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT
TO:<mchandler at woodmaclaw.com>:
    host mail.woodmaclaw.com [68.74.55.130]: 550 5.2.1
<mchandler at woodmaclaw.com>... Mailbox disabled for this recipient

THE BAD::
I have the spam mail forwarded to a spam mail box, and in about 4 days
it has gotten 24 email addresses addressed to mchandler at woodmaclaw.com.
Any ideas?

I also have several more instances like this with other email addresses.
