With spam though a legitimate email account may not exist, so you are
just exposing your server as tied up to thousands of attempted resends...
so I think deleting is a better choice personally. The fact is, most
users simply want most of this problem to 'go away' and they love our
system because we do just that in a qualified an sanctioned way. If
they identify any problems we fix them.
Today on WinInfo Daily Update by Paul Thurrott:
"* EMAIL VOLUME TO GROW 45 PERCENT IN 2002, MOSTLY SPAM
This story will warm the cockles of your heart, especially if you're
already drowning in email, as I am. According to industry analysts,
email volume will grow 45 percent in 2002, mostly because of unwanted
spam messages. If a bright spot exists in all this, it's that email
clients are becoming more sophisticated about filtering out such
messages. But seriously, this spamming has to stop."
