You're right.  I was double-counting.  I did a "grep -c 'To: bnr1'" and 
caught both the "To: bnr1" and "Reply-To: bnr1" headers.  Plus I found a 
couple of people who were replying to spam and got filtered.  Anything 
with a title of "Want Free Web Hosting..."

After reading through the actual spam, I found only 9...

Hmmm.  I must be loosing mail though, as that still leaves a about 20 
legitimate messages I'm missing.
