Please don't bounce spams back to the (forged) senders. All that does is create more noise, and it's considered by most to be a poor practice. If you're not already, consider using the RBL sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org at the MTA level. It's quite safe and rejects a lot of spam before it's even seen by SpamAssassin, etc. What SpamAssassin or other anti-spam features are you currently using? SURBLs are quite effective and pretty safe IMO. :-) Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
