I'm sorry, I understand now. The problem however is not specific to
LetterRip pro. These kind of spam traps are the BANE of email servers
too. I've had problems before with 'blacklist' services using these
methods to seek out 'spammers' and all they do is cause problems for
legitimate users. Spamhaus uses this method and I've stopped using
them altogether. In my opinion, LRP is not doing anything incorrect
in the response.
A spamtrap is good ONLY to stop incoming email. Using it to tag those
senders as spammers is completely asinine for the very reasons you
mention... forgery.

Add _what_ to mail rejection strings? I have no way of knowing what
addresses are spamtraps (my example was just hypothetical). I could
add a variety of spammy keywords to the rejection strings, but
that's not a real solution...

Add that to your mail rejection strings in the Server Settings. No
responses to those. It just dies.

I just got off the phone with my ISP (Speakeasy), who were about
ready to cut off my service...here's why:
1) Spammer sends an unsubscribe request to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
spoofing the From: header to be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
2) Spammer also includes spammy nonsense in the body of the message.
3) LetterRip receives the message, and responds to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with "You are not subscribed to this list"
_AND_ all the spammy crap that was posted with the unsub request.
4) Speakeasy calls me, and threatens to shut me off because my
mailing list software is being hijacked to send spam.
Is there some way I can modify LetterRip to NOT echo the original
message back with the response? Otherwise, I'm going to have to
abandon LetterRip altogether, since LR has _already_ sent mail to
a spamtrap address...
