Ooooooh... I like the "typo" solution. Keep in mind, of course, that it's possible that the only way to get them to realize they've made a mistake is to *show them* the contents of .dev.null. (Especially if you've set up your filtering criteria such that they'll be almost certain to give a few critical FPs at the same time...) Until they see: "Hey, there's mail from my wife in there!", they may very well be thinking "Only spam goes into the spam black-hole." Just like most people think that "only porn sites get blocked by porn filters".
