I'm afraid I don't see how sending mail with an unmonitored return address (i.e., accepted and delivered locally to /dev/null) will get you on an RBL. I get mail of that type from big companies all the time. They usually have something in the message that explains that you should not reply and that replies will not be read. Could someone expand on the RBL comment? We have reason to do this for messages that provide automated information but are not intended to start a dialogue with the customer. Why is this wrong? It seems to be a rather common practice. -- Jeff
