After reading http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#mail-moderate I will now ignore spam emails.
This said, I disagree with you on if I send a reject email it will tell the spammer that it's a valid address. The fact that the spammer's original email wasn't rejected by the mail server is an indication to the spammer that the email address is valid.

After a few days ezmlm will just remove it from the pending queue. Rejecting it sends a reply, which tells the spammer that it's a valid address. -garrett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
