Justification: Say I get an incoming message which gets flaged as SPAM. I always want to inform the sender of what happened just in case there has been a mistake and he needs to know I did *not* receive his mail. The problem is that often spammers relay messages from <my address> to <some remote address> which I bounce as SPAM and as a result I get 100s of notifications daily that "my" mail bounced. If optional SMTP auth were implemented I'd configure James to do the following: - If mail is bounced as SPAM and the FROM address is local and the client is authenticated, send a notification; otherwise - Only send a notification if the FROM address is non-local Please let me know what you think. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
