I guess it depends how it got into your system in the first place.
If it's from some random outside machine sending you mail, why did the
MTA accept it in the first place? Typically MTAs only accept mail for
hosts/domains they consider "local" or for which they're configured
to relay. If "localhost.fabulous.com" isn't one of those two, I'd find
out why your MTA didn't just reject it.
