Hi all

Keep up the GREAT work!

What has been decided: Do I just drop eMail from whomever that has the wrong reciepent, or do I bounce it ( nouser: No user here by that name )? In my limited view of things I see that either could have benefits:

Bounce -> the folks that are real and not spammers know that they screwed up the address.
Drop -> the spammers think that the address works, so the spam lists grow with invalid names.


Instead of testing stuff on a live server, I have found that I can use something like this:
virtusertable:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]    realuser
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    realuser
@domain1.com    [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]    realuser
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    realuser
@domain2.com    [EMAIL PROTECTED]

which sends all the unknown/incorrect ( usuall spam ) mail to the test machine. Now I can play around without messing with the real thing.

Thanks for the wisdom!
