My system's not as advanced as yours (fetchmail/mailfilter/spamassassin) but
it works in a similar fashion. Almost all spam is routed to a spam folder.
The previously "clean" address that I used here on Sunday is being sent a
boatload of spam/viruses, but it's being caught.
Regarding obfustcating email addresses on the list's web archives...I won't
beat a dead horse.
