RE: [Ntop-dev] Forum notify

[Vinny Abello]

Umm.... It's simply a matter of not responding to messages that meet a rule 
and getting rid of them. I do it all the time on my mail servers. Likewise 
I don't bounce viruses back to the "sender". It's just inconsiderate of 
mail server operators to do that today. I just saw a misconfigured server 
and was offering a suggestion to not respond to something that meets a rule 
that normally would bounce a message. Instead, just get rid of it >/dev/null.

Nobody can - that's the essence of spoofing.  If somebody sends a message to

test.
Welcome to the wonderful world of email in the 21st Century.
