Interesting that you are seeing bounce messages. Unless they are from your own server. I haven't seen any in the very recent past. I think the last one I received was in June, from a qmail server. The last round of backscatter was from servers bouncing variations of my addresses altered for the target domains and virtually all were qmail servers. Perhaps qmail defaults to accept all mail then bounce have changed lately and getting listed on rfc-ignorant, etc., has got the mail admins' attention. I would suppose it sucks a little when outgoing mail can't be delivered because of being a backscatterer. Spammers are still trying to send mail to variations of whatever they use as a From: address but they are being blocked. -- jd
