Sendmail has a similar feature:  dfs+$anything at roaringpenguin.com gets
to me.  However, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what

I have really aggressive anti-SPAM software.  I use the ORBZ and ORDB
open-relay blacklists, and SpamAssassin.  This is highly effective;
I get maybe one or two spams a week.
