To follow up, I'm now doing this with the following entry in my FILTER_INCOMING: # refuse mail from unknown freemail sources from-file ~/.tmda/lists/freemail bounce=bounce_freemail.txt The 'freemail' and 'bounce_freemail.txt' files are attached below.

From.US-ASCII: "%(FULLNAME)s" <%(recipient_address)s> Subject.US-ASCII: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender BodyCharset: US-ASCII This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (TMDA). Your message attached below could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. I am no longer accepting unknown messages from free mail sources such as Yahoo and Hotmail. These free mail sources allow anonymous sign-up, and because of this are heavily abused by spammers. Please re-send the message to <%(USERNAME)[EMAIL PROTECTED](HOSTNAME)s> from your real e-mail address (e.g, your work or school address). In this message, also state that you'd like me to accept your free mail address in the future, and I'll configure my software accordingly. I apologize in advance for this drastic, but necessary measure. Thanks for your understanding.
