Quite curious. How many postmasters actually respond to spam? Could it be
spammers are pissed at postmasters or know they are supposed to accept the
email? Being that I run my own server and it's for 1 user, I don't treat
postmaster specially. If I ran a larger system, it would be different
(however, I still wouldn't accept email from korea! =)
