Ooops, classic case of reply instead of follow-up.  Sorry.  Should
have gone to list.

Not really.  I do get spam there.  I do report it to various spam
databases.  I also use it to further re-enforce my bogofilter
database.  However, the address probably isn't old enough yet to be on
a lot of mailing lists.  My personal address still gets more spam than
the spam trap does.  I think that's mainly to my personal address
being in the whois database.
