Valid to bounce during the smtp session, pre-queue. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. And, yes, reject (don't bounce) if done post-queue. Reason is: In pre-queue, you are sending a 5xx or 4xx directly to the sending server, during the smtp session, and it is valid to send them a error. In post-queue, you don't want to bounce because by then, you don't know who really sent the original email. If you don't send the 5xx or 4xx during the smtp session, than a legit sender who mispelt a name would never know. Caused tech support. Backscatter? Noop. You responded with a 5xx or 4xx during the smtp session. If THAT system bounces the email back, then THEY did the backscatter, not you. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >|SECNAP Network Security Winner 2008 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBSD SpamAssassin Ports maintainer _________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(r).
