Bob, if you had a rule that somehow provided the physical location of
the offending sites and I could scrounge up a Tomahawk fully armed with
a big chunk of high explosive I'd be happy. People who bounce from
MTAs, particularly 'nixoid MTAs, to the addressee of the email without
bothering to check if the email originated from my ISP or from Brazil
should get eliminated with EXTREME prejudice.
My procmail rules for twits who do that are far more direct. I simply
dump that ISP's crap to /dev/null. If I was an actual ISP myself I'd
mark sites that send such mail with a high spam score for my customers.
(Hint, I do the same thing with people on mailinglists who have the
temerity to send me a "challenge" email. If they are that bozoid I
don't want to hear from them. I've about five of those from this list.
Funny thing is I've never heard any replies directed their way.)
