In what sense unreliable? (I'm using it with 10.2.8) >Bouncing is an illusion when it comes to spam - as you probably know, the >TO email addresses are fake and they use some other servers to send >messages so a bounce never gets back to them and never has the effect >that you wish you could have: drown them in their own spam. > You're undoubtedly right. The best way to avoid spam is still to be selective with mentioning your email address: in my 3 PM accounts the number of spam vs real mail is something like 1:100, whereas in my Yahoo account it is 70:1 - I use my Yahoo address for all emails to companies, institutions etc. In Yahoo itself, about 95% is recognised as spam and filtered before I even see it.
