For any definition of 'valid MTA', an SMTP rejection *will* generate a bounce. For any recent virus and much spam, the bounce will go to some innocent and unrelated address, which may in fact be the intended target. > Bouncing virus infected email (or spam for that matter) makes absolutely NO > sense. By definition, sending an SMTP rejection forces a bounce to be generated by an MTA. It is really irrelevant other than the amount of work involved whether your machine composes it or not. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.roaringpenguin.com MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
