Thats not the current problem. The problem are NDR's send back to real existing email addresses because the original message has had only one (or a few) valid recipient addresses but a lot of random generated name parts of the email address. (in sober.g case this are one valid recipient and 39 usualy inexistant, random generated addresses) Your gateway would filter out this type of NDRs Markus --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
