Larry, this is why we really do not want to send out messages about receiving spam. This is from the man who programs the Declude program.
While I understand you do not want spam bounced, the email that gets caught is going to bounce, along with any spam email. As stated below, most spam is shown to be sent from a forged address and that means that some poor soul gets told he or she is sending out spam. Before it is over, tempers flare and we get sent to a blacklist for sending out bogus email. It is a vicious circle. I am going to turn it back off and wait for a decision from John before I turn it on and leave us liable...

Scott Perry Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 4:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Sending out a bounced message The problem is that if you bounce obvious spam -- which is almost always sent with a fake return address -- the legitimate user of the return address is going to get the bounce messages, which does nobody any good. For example, if some spammer used "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the return address of their spam, would your client really want a ton of bounce messages? Bouncing spam just makes the spam problem worse, as it spreads the spam further. -Scott --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
