I hope you see the contradiction in the above paragraph. "no bombarding poor innocent 'joe-job' victims" "gets returned to the true sender" Easily forged, easily joe-jobbed, better to never reject. I had spamass-milter setup to reject for a while, and I found that my queues were always full. As I looked into it, I realized they were full of errors, just waiting to be crapflooded onto some poor-sod-like-me's mail server. Incorrectly addressed error messages are way more annoying than spam. Between forged spam addresses, forged virus addresses, forged Outlook worm addresses, I've thought multiple times about writing a CrapAssassin... -- Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Pope has a Water Cannon.
