getmail is just for pulling stuff from my web hosting companies
"undelivered mail" address, then guessing the original local
destinations.

Most of the stuff is spam anyway - because they use qmail, if I have a
delivery rejection here (say, because it's obviously spam or our mail server is
inaccessible), I have two options: qmail sends a sarcastic email to the
original sender, or they deliver locally. When they deliver locally,
they re-spam-filter it, which is handy...

It's been a long time, but I have a feeling he codes for
"6-character-unique-name" rules. *shudder*
