we've got a domain that used to belong to an ISP. So much spam it's
incredible. We point web requests to it to our own webhosting domain.
The email was so ridiculous to it we finally, in desperation, set the mx
to a pointer to 127.0.0.1.
We set it back recently, and it's still getting tons of junk. Spammers
don't even remove addresses from lists when they hit their own systems.
