What I don't understand is why I get such a large amount of spam
addressed to "message" when I've never posted using this address and it
isn't a normal address like "postmaster" or "webmaster". I get 2-3 items
a week addressed to message from a variety of sources and it's always
spam so I auto bounce it with a mail filter. I know the mail is still
arriving because I look at my mail logs to see what was rejected.
