So, how does that help protect you from spam? It sounds like your system
receives a spam email from some unknown and probably forged address, delivers
the spam to you anyway, and then sends its own message back to the forged
adderss, to some poor innocent who didn't send the spam in the first
place...?
I'm not sure I see why this is a good idea (or have I misunderstood how it
works?)
