By 'collateral mail' I think you mean 'autoresponses, including bounces and vacation messages'. In which case it _should _always_ generate a DSN. You should never blackhole. Reject it up-front at SMTP time should you so desire, but if you accept it then you have a responsibility to either deliver or bounce it. > 1. Someone who wants it. > 2. A spammer. > 3. Poor Joe, which a filter can't help. Actually it's relatively easy for Joe to filter out bogus DSNs and avoid the 'collateral spam'. That's that BATV does for him. -- dwmw2 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
