There needs to be a page somewhere to explain why bouncing spam is bad.
The person you're bouncing spam to is more than likely to not be the
spammer at all.
It could be someone the spammer wants to mailbomb with bounces
It could be [EMAIL PROTECTED], thats a known spammer technique
It could even be the intended recipient and you're just acting as a spam
reflector, which is as bad as being an open relay.
Once the spam reaches procmail, it's yours, it's too late to reject it
and you cant bounce it or you will be spamming. Please consider sending
it to /dev/null rather than spraying it all over the internet.
