Check your incoming filters, you most likely have a rule: # Accept all bounces (messages with an empty envelope sender) from <> ok There are ways around needing this rule. One can tag your envelope address so that bounces are returned to an address that TMDA lets through. > > From MAILER-DAEMON Sun Nov 02 18:27:27 2003 > > Return-Path: <> > > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Received: (qmail 6694 invoked from network); 2 Nov 2003 18:27:26 -0000 > > Received: from unknown (HELO taiguey.com) (65.240.228.91) > > by taz3.hyperreal.org with SMTP; 2 Nov 2003 18:27:26 -0000 > > To: Michael Wertheim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > From: Treats <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I didn't see anything about this in the FAQ. > > Should I just add "MAILER-DAEMON" to my blacklist, > or would that be a bad idea? Bad idea. You won't know if you mistype someone's e-mail address or if something else goes wrong causing a message not to be delivered. > (Please respond personally, as I am not subscribed > to this list.) If you have only received one spam using this technique to get through your filters it probably isn't worth doing anything. If you start getting more, then you can use a tagged outgoing envelope or something else to let bounces back through. Benjamin J.
