You can send that garbage to /dev/null with a procmail recipe. You have
to grab a piece of it and find out what it has in common with all the
other spam pieces, like: To: jomama@mydomain.com or something like that.
Then go into your ~/.procmailrc and add something like this:
:0
* ^To: jomama@mydomain\.com
/dev/null
(I believe this will work.) Note that the backslash in front of the dot
in jomama@mydomain.com is necessary; otherwise it interprets it as a
regexp character.
This won't make the email stop flowing, but you won't see it.
