Some spam may be better than a bunch of spam. I haven't received much
(if any) mail spoofed with @localhost.

I'd like to "block" it, as opposed to having some sort of filter

away after it's arrived. Ideally, these few userids would appear to be
invalid to anyone outside my network.
On the other hand ... I do need for all users to be able to receive
email
"internally" (i.e., from localhost).
In my case, spammers have discovered that there is <gasp!> a "root" user
that they can send email to.
Any thoughts?
Thanks much,

Hi
A solution to this may be to use forward files.
One possible drawback though is some spam spoofs @localhost,.
