Yes they are spam traps, however all domains that I'm secondary for have had extended downtime combined with recipients who don't want to wait three days for their mail, so I'm doing some people a favour and being a secondary. As far as the original message goes, I'd probably refuse to secondary for anyone who did SMTP rejects of spam and viruses -- this will tend to mean that the secondary has to queue endless bounce messages because most of the spam and an increasing number of viruses go through secondaries. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
