...and some people just don't get it. There was a discussion on backup mail exchangers the other day in an M$ newsgroup (ya i know, but I try and help the poor folk out...) and one of these "MVP - Exchange" people was strongly suggesting that it was OK to simply discard mail that was sent to invalid recipients (in the case of a disconnected BU MX). Well, maybe for him it is OK because he was adamantly OK with running a BU that has no idea of proper recipients. I guess it's better than spamming NDN's willy nilly. He just apparently didn't get that spammers are really abusing that situation with dictionary attacks, etc... I stopped pursuing 'causes I just couldn't keep it together w/ him ;) ~Jason -- _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.roaringpenguin.com MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
