| Authors of MTAs that bounce to Reply-To: should simply be killed
| without ceremony.
To nobody's surprise, Sabio and I disagree again. A ceremony is certainly
called for; it should be elaborate and ostentatious to put the fear of God-
dess into anyone else who even considers routing a bounce anywhere besides
the envelope sender address. Some say that public punishment of crimes has
no deterrent effect; to them I reply, so what: it would be so much *fun*.
In any case, regarding Ellen Spertus's original question: there is no gua-
ranteed method that some badly designed or misconfigured MTA won't subvert
by sending the NDN to the wrong address, and there is no guaranteed method
for automatically parsing messages to the submission address to try to pick
out misaddressed NDNs that some badly designed MTA won't subvert by writing
its own cutesy (and usually uninformative) NDN text that doesn't resemble
anyone else's.
