RE: OT : New domain provider need - with wildcard email forwarding

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had exactly the same problem. I solved it by installing the McAfee
Spam software for Exchange 2k3. All mail is now delivered to Exchange
(Using POPCon) and is distributed out after virus and spam filtering. IT
works VERY VERY well and is fully configurable.
Since I did that I have moved my domain to Fasthosts and their inbuilt spam
filters work really well and most spam caught in Exchange has already been
tagged by the fasthosts servers. This is very different to the Eclipse spam
filters that never seemed to be effective for me.

Not quite what Im after - that means I still get mail - the sender is a
random address every time from the domain, so that wont directly help

Yes, Gradwell.

When you get fed up receiving spam on an address, you just redirect it
to <blank> and it gets bounced as an invalid address.
