Sorry to divert people from the Microsoft bashing but I'd thought I'd bring this up again. I mentioned a few months ago about Mailwasher forging bounces, anyway I was hoping they would go away or their latest version would fix the problem but it doesn't appear that way. Checking our outgoing queues around 50% of emails waiting to go out appear to be mailwasher forgeries ( bounces from our mail servers are elsewhere) and I'm getting a little worried. I really try hard to get customer email delivered and I don't what "normal" email to get delayed when it gets stuck behind mailwasher junk. Just wondering what others are doing? Private email is okay. I'm trying to avoid blocking or deleting them if I can. One suggestion was to forward them all to feedback(a)mailwasher.net :) . The other problem is that it is fairly hard to actually pick these messages out from others in the queue safely. Maybe I can sic the fraud squad on Mr Bolton for forging my email address. FDrom their FAQ: Q. How does MailWasher bounce messages? A. MailWasher uses an algorithm to determine the best route to send the bounced message back (from, reply to, return path) and actually sends the bounce back via your isp's postmaster, so it looks exactly like it has come from your isp and not from you at your address. If the spammer has used a fake address, then your bounce message will itself be bounced back to the postmaster and you won't receive the bounced bounce email. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
