Your could put a couple of empty posts from that email address on usenet
or other public places that your users might leave their email
addresses.

Different senders of UBE, spam, etc... Get their email lists from
different sources and the spam that one organisation receives is
different from that of another.

Your best bet is to leave autolearn to do its thing, and get your users
to bounce spam emails to that address.

We don't bounce emails to anywhere other than the sender as a matter of
policy, otherwise spammers could use this as a technique for harvesting
yet more email addresses, which beats the object really.
