What I do from my e mail server is to make the
file /etc/mail/access (used by sendmail)
and in the file called access, you can
bounce mail that you don't want, for example
my /etc/mail/access file reads liek the one
below, however please note that some of
the addresses are obscured to protect
people, not all on my list are poopybottoms,
some are just annoying me temporarily,
but from the addresses, ip numbers, or
hostnames you can get a jist of the
format, but then again, if not, please
mail me back and ask me for help like
from who do you want to bounce mail
back to and stuff.

The lines that say ERROR: in them will
bounce mail back I think, then you can
put in the standard error message or you
can think up one of your own razzes hehehe.
