That seems like a lot of overhead to manage. Also, you're going to have a bad day if a spam bot decides to spam thousands of <common_user_name>@yourdomain.com. Maybe that's fallen out of practice, but I've seen it happen before.

Not really, in this year I had changed only 1 filter, the initial setup may be cumbersome, but the end result is worth the effort.

And about the spam to random addresses, in 8 years the most extreme problem I had faced is spam to censored addresses like [email protected] (thanks google code).

It's a tried and true spamming tradition and it's going strong. I see plenty of entries like

    Envelope-to: <[email protected]>
in my reject log. Addresses that were never used anywhere. Some things just refuse to die.
