Ok, now I've seen just about everything. Challenge/Response software sends a Email back to a spammer, which is running a auto responder and each message it sends uses a different from address, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the next is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and eventually the users mail box overflows with the things. I saw this not on my Declude/Imail system but on a friends Sendmail/BSD machine. He works for a security company and they have their own mail server and they use a challenge/response system to populate a whitelist. But seems like some spammers have figured this out and set up these autoresponders to cram mail boxes.

It was definitely interesting...
