Last night we started add ip address blocks to the access control list
that have been sending us most of your spam(china ip address). This
morning I am getting call after call about email our users are receiving
about delivery failures. I wanted to see if this is just a side effect
and how everyone else is dealing with this. 

So far what I think is happening.

Just using aol as example.

A spammer from an IP address that is denied access sends an email to one
of are users with a return address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our email says no
and sends notice back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not a valid
email address at AOL, This sends back a failure notice to our user. At
this point the user is confused because they don't know who this person
is and they never sent an email to this person. 

Since this is the first time that we have setup access control list we
have not see this but is there any way to stop this or another
suggestion. We are trying to cut down the traffic but this may generate
more traffic.

Thanks


Rick B
