If you use '!@' to your badmailfrom control file you'll still receive messages with an empty Return-Path: field (a.k.a. null-envelope sender). And bouncing messages containing an empty Return-Path is usually bad and less-effective than expected. But, to answer to your question strictly, I guess it is a good idea to to refuse messages which do not contain @ in the Return-Path. In any case, try to avoid misdirected bounces as much as possible. -- Adrian Pircalabu -- This message was scanned for spam and viruses by BitDefender.
