   People are talking about obscene volumes, thousands per day, but
I'm "only" getting a few dozen a day. I actually receive email (and
spam) at my posting address, but I'm getting these at the address with
'nospam' removed (yes, I have several such demunged aliases, they've
all received spam).
   There may be several versions of this floating around, a "really
popular" one that just deletes/skips addresses with the string 'spam',
and a less-popular one that does demungings.
