Quoting "Kevin A. McGrail" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have to concur but I'll give you more ammunition.
This is pretty broken and large ISPs like AOL and Yahoo may block
mail servers that do not accept bounces.
For example, from: http://postmaster.aol.com/guidelines/standards.html
AOL may reject connections from senders who are unable to accept at
least 90% of the bounce-return messages (mailer-daemon failure/error
messages) destined for their systems.
Which in turn is also broken. To make a DOS attack (prevent AOL
subscribers to
send email to particular domain), one would just generate bunch of emails to
non-existing AOL addresses that would have envelope sender set to non-existing
user at particular domain. Attacker generates fake emails, AOL generates
bounces, bounces fail, AOL blocks domain. Nice.
