To bad, but.... no go. If you have the standard weights in place, chances
you are becoming a spammer yourself is about 80%. That's the spam hitrate
for the weight20 test minus the nonforged headers. About 90% of all spam has
a forged header, the remaining being from "advertising senders" having a
bounce mechanism. So you are sending a lot of spam to innocent victims who's
e-mail adres has been used as a from adres. Also, have a look at your
postmaster account, it should fill up nicely with bounces to forged adresses
that do not exist.

The reason it is called BOUNCEONLYIFYOUMUST is just that. Bounce only if you
MUST and be aware of what you are doing.

Groetjes,
