You're correct, of course. That doesn't change the fact that I could force their server to send out thousands of my spam messages to external users using the method I described. Presumably, spamcop lists servers that deal out bounces when those bounces are reported by spamcop users as spam, in which case, the offending server sending the bouncebacks gets blacklisted. which may be temporary, of course but if that server *IS* being abused and people consistently report such bounceback spam coming from that server, it'll stay blacklisted. Now of course, a good spam filter gateway wouldn't let my milliion spam messages in in the first place, so they wouldn't have to worry about it. Also, if such gateways are not aware of existing users on the internal network, they could save themselves a lot of processing time by BEING aware of valid users on the internal network. rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232952 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
