Stefano,
Thanks, you make a great point against reject emails.
It was not my intent to create a new reject email but rather to reject
it at the incoming SMTP message level.
But, as Serge mentions, I might
not be able to do include the URL to apply for whitelist at the SMTP
reject level, and anyway the mailet API does not support such
functionality. I was counting on such capabilities to do rejects
without the annoying side effects you mentioned. I obviously need to do
more research into how to properly reject without causing extra emails.
As to a whitelisted sender being infected by a worm and sending spam, I do not see that as a big flaw,
[sound of stefano banging his head on the wall]
especially if you already have an anti-virus filter on your inbound mail filter chain (a normal precaution).
A clever worm spreads much more quickly than any anti-virus update. If you think that worms are not a problem in today's internet, think again.
Then again.
I can't imagine a huge number of spams coming that way,
don't know what "huge" is for you but 400 a day is enough for me.
and it would be easy to contact the sender and warn him of his infection.
Are you reading what I write? there is no way for me to know *who* is infected.
Ok, enough. I already spent too much time on this.
