Hm.
1) Less than 1% of the mail that slips through my defenses is spam.
None of it it viruses. If 80% of what hits someone's autoresponder is
spam, then they're idiots.
2) autoresponders are just tools. They're neither good nor evil. They
were useful before spam, which means they are useful tools. The
problem is not the autoresponder, it's the spam. Throwing away
autoresponders due to spam fits "throwing out the baby with the
bath-water" perfectly.

those are just making the problem worse. Emails cannot be used anymore
like in the old time because bad guys make our lives hell. This is
important to make understand this to people, autoresponder are evil !

. Email is less and less usefull as spammers make it unusable. We
allready lost the war it seems. When the tool become unusable for his
purpose : easy and reliable communication between people, it loose its
purpose.. :(

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not.
I have been bitten twice by SPAM email forging addresses, someone
vacation rule send a message to a rbl trap account and my servers get
black listed.
Other than disabling rules like this, has anyone some up with a way to
reduce this? I was think of using MIMEDefang to do this, but I wanted
to get community feedback first.
TIA,
Dave
