I didn't follow this entire discussion from the beginning, so maybe it's been
said already, but if all these spoofed address messages result in you
receiving a bunch of "undeliverable" returns, why not filter on the word
"undeliverable" in the Subject line? You could do that easily with
Mailfilter, SpamAssassin, even Kmail's filter feature.
