They _don't_ run an MTA on it. It looks like a small shell script with
the same hard-coded response to _anything_ you say to it.

Since for me that corresponds to 'HELO' 'MAIL FROM:<>',
'RCPT TO:<postmaster@[domain]>' ==> sender callout failed due to
rejecting 'postmaster@', that means no more spam for me, and I don't
particularly care right now.

Although they _should_ be shot for the script, certainly.
