reject_spam:
driver = smartuser
local_parts = ^{?mb\.\w{3}\.98}?$
new_address = unknown@???
and ensure that you don't have anything that handles "unknown".
This will still try to send a bounce message to such addresses, just as
:fail: would. You could arrange just to throw them away by directing
"unknown" to :blackhole: or course.
