I agree. I get them too, and I think in the last several years I've only found one legit email in the whole lot. So I dump the bounce msgs to /dev/null by hand. What we really need is a utility like the little Amazon box that blocks phone numbers from a war dialer so nicely. I answer the phone here with a finger near the big red button, and I'll say go or hello twice in 3 secs, if no human is on the line by then, its a war dialer looking for its human to sell me something, so the button gets pushed. Never hear from that number again. Something that looks at the messages header and auto-composes a procmail recipe to kill it forever. I'd install that in front of kmail in a heartbeat. I've had it about a year, the blocked counter is nearly 100. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
