In fact, if you accept the email, then silently discard it, then you effectively endorsing the validity of the email. You'll be improving the reputation of the original sender in the eyes of the ISP.
Worse, it can even be a punishable offense. At least here in Germany, doing so for a third party's mail (which according to most lawyers also covers a company doing it for mail addressed to its own employees) constitutes "Nachrichtenunterdrückung" (message suppression), a felony punishable with up to 5 years in prison. (Talk about lawmakers' support in the fight against spam ...) So dropping mail into the bitbucket is not an alternative. I have to either reject it or deliver it. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany
