Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. Unfortunately the time and effort required to track them down is probably greater than just deleting the bounce message. Although you need to look at the bounce message to make sure it's not a legitimate bounce.
I wish that people would be more responsible. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.

There are no technical measures that you can take to stop it -- it's the same as trying to prevent someone from writing your home address as the return address of actual mail that they send. It can't be done. What you can do is try to track down the spammer and use social or legal measures to stop it. However, this will often be very difficult. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
