Well *we*, fro one, are not that harsh - even have IP_literal's open for postmaster, abuse, etc. But the last time we have gotten anything similar (otherwise-legitimate bounces of forged bounces), we took the trouble to: - verify in WHOIS and DIG - ID the MTA the complainent was using from headers. - look up the config docs for that MTA - tell them specifically how to ID & block a forged bounce There was no reply, and the collateral damaged continued until we manually blacklisted them. Even if only 1% of Marc's ideas have merit, he DOES tread where others [fear to go | have been before they learned to read]. ;-) Bill -- ## 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/
