1. Complain to his provider.
2. Ask your provider to block that IP address.
>I recently got a mailing list bounce from J B Hunt
Autoresponding to list traffic is abuse.
>"probable junk mail"
Spam typically has a bogus From address, so that would be abuse even
if the message weren't from the list. The proper action for a spam
filter is to send a 5xx response during the SMTP session. Google for
backscatter and outscatter.
>Putting up a return address and then blocking it
Fits right in with the other things they're doing. At best they're
clueless.
BTW, you need the header of the bounce to determine the proper
complaint addresses, specifically the Received fields.
