I'm running Sendmail 8.9.3 (Red Hat > 6.1).
Well, I wouldn't assume any mail to non-existent addresses is spam.
I sometimes wonder how many mails people send me to 'kludge.net'...
I use the following to generate my spamtraps (this may not be good for
you; I only have 10 users...):
#!/bin/sh
grep -i '\.\.\. user unknown' | awk '{print $7}' | sed -e 's/^<//' -e 's/@.*$/:
spamtrap/' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'
It goes through my mail log, finds the 'user unknown' errors, and
generates a spamtrap alias for them. I then go through them by hand,
removing obvious msgids, etc, and put the rest in the alias file.
Over 3800 at the moment, and adding ~200 a week. :)
