I know it is best to handle mail based on test results, but ... for those FROM addresses we wish to block (the Flowgo's and the like), is it better to:
1 - put in the Imail kill file and return the 501 message, or 2 - accept the message, but then delete before delivery and not send the 501 message. More crudely put, do I put the dead body on the front porch for the spammer to see or invite it in and throw the body in the backyard. (Do you see what I think of spammers to have me writing in these terms?) My thoughts are no. 2. The bandwidth has already been consumed getting the message - there is no getting it back; why waste more returning the 501; I don't care if they know I'm blocking, but they might change addressing to get around the block. Or does no.2 invite more spam? Thoughts??? John --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
