Okay, time for some sanity here: - Bouncing is worthless for the various reasons give. - If at all, it has a largely therapeutic value value for you, nothing else. - Bouncing only wastes more bandwidth, contributing to the SPAM issues. If you want to get rid of SPAM, short of hunting down each spammer and putting a bullet in their skull (a most effective method, I'd wager), all you can do is protect yourself from seeing the SPAM. The only truly effective means for that is TMDA, a really nice whitelist filter that sits on your MTA. http://software.libertine.org/tmda/ Or http://tmda.sourceforge.net Harry -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
