Re: [IMail Forum] Unwanted Mail

It seems that the problem here is that the virus is being rejected during the SMTP transaction, which is kind of silly. Since the virus has already been transferred, you don't save any bandwidth. However, you do end up bouncing many viruses back to the supposed sender (which in this case is you!). -Scott

This is also the bounce message that is generated when someone sends the message pretending to be <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now I understand that it is the server generating. But shouldn t this get deleted? Or do we get into a loop where the bounce canlt be bounced incase of a double perpetual bounce? So the message just goes to the catch all account? I must be having a brain fart, but I have been going nuts with this for over a week!!! Tnx for your help!
