Hi all,
  I run a server which hosts several sites.  I've been using
Spamassassin for a while now, and absolutely love it.  I know this may
be slightly off topic, but I figured I'd start here.

  I've recently noticed a barrage of 'Mailer-daemon' messages in my mail
queues.  These messages are in response to non-existent users on my
system.  i.e. Someone is spamming with a spoofed source email that
points to my domain.  My concern is that someone who is not very
informed about this practice, or that isn't intelligent enough to look
at the IP path the email took to get to them, is gonna get my site on a
RBL.  I have taken strict actions to prevent spammers from using my
systems, ( including pop-locking of smtp relay privileges, and my own IP
block list that is 4000 IP's strong just from spam relays ).  Since
these messages appear to originate from out of country (according to the
IP's in the mail headers ), is there any course of action I can take to
curb these events?  Or, should I not even worry about it, and deal w/
the added mail traffic due to the bounces?  Thanks in advance, and if
there's a better list to address this on, please let me know.
