Enable LOGFILE_INCOMING as shown in http://wiki.tmda.net/TroubleShooting, and 
look at the log when you go through the tests above.  That will tell
you why messages to [email protected] aren't being dropped.  You might
have the address slightly wrong.  A rule like "to mta-devnull@* drop"
will probably work.
