That's not the case - it IS the case for the envelope recipient but not 
necessarily for the "To:" field in the email header - that can be 
anything.  I block more than 99% of spam with my spamdyke filters (which 
DOES look at the envelope recipient address and cam reject the mail form 
being accepted into the local system) but of the stuff that gets through 
that, most is, of course addressed to me but there are significant 
percentages of:

- a high number of one particular spam "To:" address

- random spam "To:" addresses

- empty "To:" addresses

Not sure what you mean by that - could you elaborate?

Thanks,

Phil.
