Mind you, there are still providers that do not offer you a mailbox. Then, I'd like to point you to <http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/policy-postmaster.php>, which is a RBL list I've seen more and more deployed, and which would occur deleting mails from sites that do not know how to use their postmaster accounts. Oh, and before the mail user starts to "whine" about these mails being rejected, it is not acceptable to feed mail through an MTA which hasn't even a way to contact the responsible person. [1] Third, just like Peter, I'm having a look on several MXes, beside others the one servicing this mailing list as well. If you provide mail to your users, you have to keep your server running. This means that you will look why a message to one of your users bounced. If you find out that in fact this user *faked* a bounce message with your postmaster adress, you *will* let the user know that this was a one-time experience for him. See my first paragraph. Do *you* send you bounces as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"? Cheers, Johannes mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] Makes me laugh how effective TheBats random quote chooser is :) If you wonder, that was a *real* bounce. -- The following destination addresses were unknown: SMTP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please reply to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if you feel this message to be in error. ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
