Another Good Idea, I think, is to have one or more "ban-me" accounts.  I
get a load of spam to dead accounts on warren, which I used maybe once
or twice for special purposes many years ago.  I'd like them to trigger
automatic mailkill on the originating address, rejecting the current
mail and adding a line to the mailkill file.  I see it working with a
flag in FTPusers, if there is one spare, or maybe some special trickery
in the rewrite file such as "$BAN".  Haven't looked at the client yet -
with all the various efforts going into KA9Q hereabouts I preferred to
wait for a moderately stable set of sources.  But it doesn't feel too
hard a job.  What do you think ?
