Yes, and why do you care what crap gets sent to it?

As long as you have an official email address, any other email addresses 
you have issued to you are irrelevant.

Email is not that important. It's not secure. It can very easily be 
spoofed.

If you do care (again, why?) forward it to your regular account where 
you can have spamassassin take care of any spam.

If you forward it to your robinson-west email account, you can set up 
procmail to /dev/null anything not from pcc.edu. Isn't that what you 
want? Wasn't that simple?

Now, in the future, you might consider asking this question like this:

"I have an email account that I didn't ask for, but that I can't get rid 
of. I'd like to accept email from the one relevant domain but send 
anything else to the bit bucket. I can't do it on that system. How would 
I do this?"

Much simpler, and leaves out ALL the crap.

So... forward your pcc email account to your regular mail server, and 
have procmail sort it out for you.
