-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 'Lo Johannes,
On Wed, 4 Dec 2002 16:35:41 +0100 your time, you said: JP> Plus, every message that *YOU* generate and send will be different from JP> a real bounce, both generated at receive time by a negative recipient JP> verify, or by your ISPs MTA. You just cannot generate a real looking JP> bounce message with an MUA ;) Fair enough. So basically you are saying that even though 'the bounce' may work on occasion with Mailwasher it is no more than a gimmick as it would be obvious to anyone that it was not a genuine bounced message because genuine bounces are rejected at the MTA, and not the MUA, which is easily indentifiable? JP> As you bounced off the spam, and the spam bounced because again you JP> failed to recognize a spoofed spammer address, your postmaster gets the JP> mail in his inbox. Yeah, in my case that would be me ;) Okay, I'll totter off and think about it some more. But to be honest, I don't - at the moment - believe that there really is a big enough problem to warrant devoted consideration, although I can see that many, many bounced messages could be very annoying for postmasters that investigate all of their bounced messages. Of course it isn't critical for me, so I'm perhaps being a little flippant, as I just filter to delete bounced bounces, but I can appreciate that this may not be the case for well endowed organisations, and that they may need to trace what they percieve as 'abusers'. Anyhow, thanks for the info. - -- Sl�n, Simon @ theycallmesimon.co.uk ****************************************** PGP Key: http://pgp.theycallmesimon.co.uk/ Faffing about with TB! v1.61 on W2K SP3 #1407.
