Sounds like a good idea (I mean the bounce option) - anyone knows a good free-software alternative for mailwasher?
p.s. I'm not so sure I understand how this works - your'e supposed to be able to "reject" the mails after they were already accepted by the server and saved into your mailbox (i.e. mail sender already got SMTP "250 OK" response + possibly some ESMTP DSN). Possibly you could have a local mailserver (which supports this bouncing option) and have the mailbox provider forward your mail to it. Or, maybe you could spoof your mailbox provider's ESMTP DSN messaages? Maybe someone with more knowledge of mail protocols could explain this here ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tzahi Fadida" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Yedidyah Bar-David'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 4:58 PM Subject: RE: Looking for a Good Web-Forum Implementation I simply bounce the message using softwares like mailwasher.
