A mail address inside angle brackets is a standard e-mail address
format.  The procmail filter at http://spastic.sourceforge.net handles
the problem of getting e-mail not addressed to you through an "allowed"
file.  You just list valid addresses (or regexps) that can be in the To:
or Cc: header in a file.  All others are marked as spam and dumped into
a spam file that you can review later.  It has many other filters you
can use for other headers, the body, valid domains, etc.
