After *32* attempts! This is really an unsocial attempt. The queue for
the mail server running this list is filles as well with such spam
that cannot be bounced back, mainly because we're currently not
blocking open relays but just tagging the messages, as there are a few
users that rely on some mail coming from desperately open relays.

If you want a good advice, forget it. Don't try to forge a bounce,
you're wasting other peoples ressources, starting with your ISPs mail
server that cannot deliver those forged bounces because all adresses
(%OFROMADRESS is 90% forged as well) cannot be delivered.

If it really starts to get bad, have a look at IMHO more effective
measures, like implementing Spamassasin.

Cheers,
 Johannes                            mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
