While you are mentioning bad ideas... what about this trend of sending bounce messages to the sender or postmaster based on the From or envelope address of messages with virii in them. Does Clam-milter do this? (I don't use that part - use my own courier filter system). Personally I fail to see the point of this if it does... the virii are most often (these days) lying about their origins anyways - the only time this helps is when the mail is a trojan / malware. If the filter was smart enough to send a bounce ONLY in those cases, it might be useful, but as it is, I've been asked to write filters by my users to stop these bounces - they are most often telling my users they are guilty of sending something they know they didn't ;-) Is Clam on this crazy track of notifying the innocent? Or am I off base here? Thanks. m/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
