That's exactly why we recently added "DO NOT USE THIS ACTION unless you understand FULLY that spammers will NEVER receive the bounce message." to the information about the BOUNCE action in the manual. :)I apologize if this has already been discussed at length. First, we started bouncing spam about a week ago. I'm concerned about bouncing to made up return addresses that turn out to be legitimate, innocent, e-mail accounts. I'm also concerned about bogging down my server with bounced bounce messages. Will this significantly slow down my server?
Don't worry about slowing down your server. What you need to worry about is whether the benefit of sending the bounce messages to "good" people (legitimate mailers with problems that they need to know about) will outweigh the drawbacks of sending them to the "bad" people (spammers who use fake return addresses). In most cases, it isn't worth using the BOUNCE action (it is worth it if a test catches a lot of legitimate mail but little spam; if that's the case, though, it probably shouldn't be used as a spam test).
That's something that is in the suggestion database (you aren't the first to ask), but I don't know yet if/when it will get added.Lastly, I would also like to send a custom bounce message per domain, but I've noticed that Declude doesn't recognize .eml files anywhere but in the main Declude folder. Can we hope to see a per domain bounce .eml in future versions?
