There's also a very good ruleset I've been using for a while now, at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/rules/trunk/sandbox/jm/20_vbounce.cf It catches almost all my unwanted bounces. Requires a little hand-editing before it'll work, though, which is why it's not yet part of the default distro (I hope to have that fixed for 3.2.0). The problem is still volume, though -- if a spammer uses *just* your address on a large spam run, the massive volume of incoming bounces will quickly overwhelm most small mailserver setups. :( --j.
