In terms of preferences in allocation of time, I'd rather spend it
improving the SpamBouncer Filtering files rather than wrestling with
sendmail configuration files simply bouncing stuff to the old email
address (neither of these processes I am overly familiar with and so
both have relatively high learning curves). That might benefit everyone
who uses Spambouncer -- though I suspect its long term effectiveness may
be limited and I'll have to finish implementing a Bayesian solution.
One also has the problem of having to change the email addresses for
multiple mailing lists that one may have to do some research on to see
how many one is a member of.
But I would agree that the this might be a reasonable course of action.
Alternatively one could get a "free" email account (Hotmail, etc.) and
let the ISP deal with much of the problem.
But if you ever run across an example of how to fix sendmail to do what
you are discussing please send it to me.
