    Many thanks for this, John.  It's much needed and long overdue.

    Any ideas on the best way to implement it?  Seeing the many
    variations in the spam I've received in the past I've used, for
    example, "*emailsrus.com*" (without the quotes).

    Would this be better as just "*emailsrus*" and does one have to
    worry about case sensitivity and also have "*EMAILSRUS*"?

    Does anyone have any idea as to the point when the mailkill file
    gets big enough to seriously affect performance?

    Finally, does ka9q keep a record of bounced mail anywhere?  I've
    looked through mail.log and found nothing there.
