Shiloh, a long time ago I decided that bounce messages for SPAM and Virii, were useless. I used to send NDRs to the poor sap that sent the virus (so that he could clean his machine), but that became useless when from addresses began to be forged. I found that I was NDRs for my NDRs, so I stopped sending them. I scan outbound email for Virii and send NDRs for those, but not incoming emails. Coupled with GLiST for Xmail, I have very little Spam or misdirected bounces.
And as mentioned by another contributor, my Xmail server is Internet facing, rather than behind another relay, so any invalid email addresses are denied in-session. This means the sending MTA generates the NDR, not me. Just my $0.02, Rob :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shiloh Jennings Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2005 9:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [xmail] Re: Misdirected Bounces >Do you have any custom domains set up to relay mail?

We are not currently sending bounces from spam/virus filters. I cannot understand what SpamCop means by many misdirected bounces. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
