This is the part that I missed.  It is always the little things that mess us
up  :)

What I was talking about with aliases was that I wanted stuff addressed to
godzilla at mydomain.com to automatically be put in a specific folder on the
server.  I already had the aliases set up, I just wanted autofiltering put
in place.  Thanks to your help, though, I did get it worked out.

I guess my next step will be spamassassin, but that will probably be a bit
down the road.
