Mike,

  Are there header_checks in postfix that can detect and reject unwanted
names? For example, I get a lot of spam to "undisclosed-recipients"@... and
I'd like to block that. Alternatively, if there's a place to put the few
usernames that are actually available, that would be great, too.

Thanks,

Rich
