Um, after looking at my config again, the exact rules are:
deny on....
local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|] : ^\\.
for all messages.
Local recipients have other rules that apply to them, and none of these
rules apply to what addresses the mail is 'from:<.....>'.
Perhaps I should put some there too, need to go look at all those spam
messages again :)
