In my case, the "spam at domain.com" address is as real as any other domain
email address, and delivered to an inbox in exactly the same manner. 
It's per-domain, so each domain gets an inbox full of the spam that
would have otherwise shown up in their individual inboxes.

I actually have a set of hash files that contain information about the
hosted domains and how email is to be handled for them, as well as the
list of valid users for each domain.  It means I don't have to change
mimedefang-filter to change certain aspects of handling domain email. 
Unfortunately, I seem to have to reload MD to get changes to show up. 
It hasn't been enough of a problem for me to investigate why.
