You do *not* need master to bounce it for you! Are you saying you should bounce SPAM mail??? Where do you bounce it to? The forged senders email address? Alternatively, you could redirect the mail to >/dev/null, but then the poster of a genuine email doesn't know his mail didn't get through. Yes, in this case the mail would bounce anyway, but I think the solution is to improve the SPAM checking on master, and not accept the mail in the first place. Yes, you could probably make mail from master.debian.org bypass SMTP level SPAM controls, but taken to the extreme, you would have to also do this to every server that forwards you email (perhaps even every mailing list server?). -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
