The original thread was that he wanted to /dev/null his mail THERE! So no
way of getting them out /dev/null once they get there.
We all know how a MX works, i hope, but in this particular scenario i
would not try that :)
Not only spammers send to a fallback MX, there are various reasons to send
there.
Bye,
Raymond.
