If you eat them, you run the risk of a legitimate user sending e-mail to a mistyped address and never receiving an NDR (sure, there are ways and logic around this but let's not go into those details)
Because so many legit users know what the bounces mean. 90% of the ones I see these days aren't very readable, and come from that nasty MAILER-DAEMON thing. Ooo, is that a virus?
I agree with this (that the users won't understand the bounces) - still, I prefer to reject things during the SMTP session (and not run this risk *at all*, because when it happens to your CEO .. it will matter) and at the same time save on system resources. Anyway, I think we said all that was to be said about this and won't bother other subscribers with replying unless something really interesting pops up. Bojan
