Thanx for the info, yeah they have procmail and have showed
me how to make it dump spam into /dev/null, so
I theorised that I could alter that variable to make it
do other things as well like return a message that
looked like a 'bounce' in hopes that it would at
least make it to the relay of the poor sap
who fell prey to the spammer alerting her/him
of a spam problem like to restrict their relay,
but ideally it would get back to the postmaster or
account of the spammer and they would regard
my address as invalid.
hmmmm, guess I need to do a little homework??
