Ahh, gotcha.  It should cut down a fair bit on your bandwidth use too.

I guess I'm lucky - I've only used this email address for a handful of
things and only get one or two spams a month, and usually those come from
my ISP.  The last one from them let me buy tickets to see Rush two days
before they went on sale, so I'm not gonna complain!  :-)

I did set things up so that I can easily put SpamAssassin in when (not if)
the spam level rises.
