Well I guess it's a good thing I opened up my /dev/null rule for
Mailer-Daemon then, or I'd never have seen it.

fairlite.com (for whatever reason) has been "hijacked" in several spam
campaigns, where they just spam a continent-load of people with
random-letter addresses like alkhgasdww at fairlite.com, and -I- get all the
bounces.  When it was >200/day, I tossed all mail from Mailer-Daemon
entirely out the window for a few months.  I only recently opened it back
up by putting additional body scanning in for a valid fairlite.com email
address that I'd have sent from.

If it had still been blocked, I'd never have known about the change, nor
known to resend.  I had about as much reason to toss mailer-daemon as you
did to close the old support address.  :)

You can't always depend on someone having seen something like that these
days. :( And those that see it still may not know what to do about it, even
if it's in plain english like it was.
