Some definitions relating to MTA behavior: Bounce: Your MTA accepts the message, then generates a Delivery Status Notification message (aka DSN, aka bounce message) explaining why the message was not delivered, and sends it to the sender address of the undelivered message, which in the case of spam is almost certainly not the real sender in any case Reject: Your MTA does not accept the message, sending a 5XX to the sending MTA, and generates no DSN. -- snowjack(a)fastmail.fm
