I have not yet gotten around to setting up nupas, but I figured I'd
try populating /mail/lib/blocked a bit since it is easy, and a lot of
the spam seems to come from erewards@<foo>
However, after putting the line "*block	*!erewards*" into blocked, I
still keep getting spam from "erewards" at various servers. What's up?
