[Gllug] How to handle spam bounces from secondary MX server

[John Winters]

After the recent discussions on SpamAssassin I reconfigured my e-mail
server to bounce any e-mail scoring 12 or more.  This has produced a
gratifying reduction in spam but one little annoyance.

There's a particular regular spam item with a subject like "Your order"
which is always sent to the secondary MX, and always carries the same
e-mail address (i.e. mine) in both the From: and To: fields.  The
secondary MX then can't deliver it (because it scores way over 12) and
eventually returns a bounce to the apparent sender (i.e. me).

Is there another step which I can take to get rid of these?  They're only
a minor annoyance, but I'm aware they're taking up resources (for
temporary storage and retries) on the secondary server.

TIA,
John
