[vps-mail] Catchall not working correctly



I finally set my catchall to bounce emails that aren't specifically
addressed to an identified address. It cut my junk mail down immensely.
However, I'm still getting a few spams each day that it should bounce and
doesn't (see headers copied below). I'm wondering if anyone can give me some
ideas as to how these are sneaking in past the catchall and how to block
them. For example, I got an email to denisep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx yet I have
nothing vaguely resembling denisep in my virtmap list. There is no
indication of cc or bcc going to me (jimsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or any of my
virtmap listings. How did it get through?

I can set up a redundant rule in my procmailrc list to block everything
missed by the virtmap catchall but it seems that, if the catchall is not
working correctly, that should be fixed first. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jim Smith
