Yep, that's the point I was making... where I work, we combine
(root|time|news|abuse|whatever at maths.tcd.ie) to go to our request
queue.  The addresses are commonly known from computer info pages,
and we house a reasonably popular time server (hence email address
widely known), so we get a fair few spams to the queue each day.
At the moment, we sift it by hand, but it's a smelly job ;-)

I'm sure we're not the only site who combines all their system
addresses!

If I get something whacked together, I'll send it back to the list.
