I have a couple of mailboxes im bouncing because of spam volume. Depends on the creed of the spammer I guess. Some genuine dont see the point in continuing to spam non existant addresses and stop. Some set fake reply-to headers and dont care. For those that bounce-the-bounce and come back to postmaster, I start firewalling their MTA from my network. Solves the problem :P Course, ISPs might not necessarily want to do that... (we all know how controversial RBLs are.) But yes, if forging mail headers is in breach of your AUP id ask your abuse guy to contact the client and ask them to disable that feature of mailwasher; and advise them that failing to do so will result in immediate account suspension for breaching T&C. Tends to work :) Mark. At 06:50 p.m. 1/10/2002 -0700, Chris Wedgwood wrote:

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
This isn't an AUP violation here?
Forging email from an address other than yours? I would just disallow lusers from injecting such bogons. I would argue allowing this sets a unnerving precedent of sorts.
Does this actually work? I mean, since most spam doesn't have a valid return-path, bounces are mostly useless.
