I would imagine that the "different address" would be postmaster@ my
mail server... :-)  Filtering is a waste of time.  I'm sorry if you feel
"antagonized", but I would submit that connections from the SMTP server
you use are refused for a very good reason, and instead of shooting the
messenger, you might want to consider looking into what that reason is
and having it fixed.

Besides, I don't ask for personal replies from a mailing list.
*Nothing* annoys me more than to Google for a problem and find tons of
references to the exact same problem I'm having, but no solutions
because replies were emailed to the original poster instead of to the
list where they could be archived... :-)

Blindly bouncing spam to that address isn't accomplishing anything.
IIRC, they don't even bother with it any more... they wound up with
hundreds of millions of spam emails in their collection, enough to keep
them occupied until sometime after the heat-death of the Universe.  A
couple of them will get light slaps on the wrist, and all of them will
keep on spamming :-(
