Hi Ilan,
I look after two small systems one of which (my own) is essentially a
club service rather than a business and the other is for a friends
scooter tuning business.
The latter isn't set up quite as aggressively as mine and wildcards are
sent to a separate mailbox for manual filtering (assuming that is they
get past the usual RBL, spammassassin, virus checks) at his leisure.
