sigh.  i have very evil friends.  well, not so evil that they've done
this, but they thought of it...

ok, so let's say [EMAIL PROTECTED] has tmda guarding his mailbox.  for some
reason another user has decided to annoy [EMAIL PROTECTED]  so he sends
mail from forged addresses via proxies to hide his identity.  perhaps
forged from addresses of anti-spam people who maintain "bad" ip addresses.
this would cause tmda to generate confirm messages to those addresses.

now granted the malicious user would have to send one message per
generated annoyance message, so it would take a lot of time, but is it
a possible attack?

thoughts?
