Hi List,

I have a brand new domain I purchased for a customer back in July, it’s
never even had a dns entry associated with it until a few weeks ago. We
recently setup their new email addresses and was doing some
troubleshooting when I noticed a large amount of spam being sent to an
invalid address.

Considering it is most likely 100% spam, is there any way I can auto
bounce these to someone here to get them added to the signatures?

I don't believe this type of spam is well suited to sane security. If you're using a qmail based MTA, I highly recommend using http://spamdyke.org/. It's very effective at reducing spam, and will reduce the load on your host at the same time. spamdyke is amazing.
