That's a strange claim! Why do you think BT, Demon, NTL, Earthlink or whatever would be in the least bit interested in doing something special ? or want to know ? I've just had a look at http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/email/detail.php and I can't see any warnings (or any way to tell Sussex) about email forwarded _to_ that site.... ... it's quite an achievement if people who are forwarding their email remember to turn off the spam detection at the destination and thereby reduce the backscatter! I recently did some figures on this and found that 3.5% of the email coming into Demon was forwarded and 66% of it was not accepted because it was spam. Whether that 66% getting a 5xx meant a DSN was created by the sender will of course depend upon the configuration of the sender... [cue: something on-topic, how best to arrange NOT to generate a DSN after a rewrite earlier on...] Anyway, does Sussex monitor for people who cause this backscatter whether they "do something similar" at the destination site or not ? - -- richard Richard Clayton They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
