I agree whole heartedly, so I've set all the amavisd rules to D_REJECT,
but I still get the "Undeliverable:Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender"
bounces.  How do I turn these off?

Thanks a lot for the hlp!

J.

Just don't use bouncing as a spam action at all if you filter after
queue.. 
this is just a bad thing to do in general. Even if the destinations are 
'valid' they are likely going to some poor shmuck who had his address 
forged. One thing you can always be sure of is that if a message is
spam, 
the spammer is definitely never going to see the bounce.

I have a policy of outright blacklisting mailservers which send 
post-delivery bounces for spam filtering. I consider them nothing short
of 
a malicious misconfiguration.

(pre-queue MTA rejections are OK, post-delivery bounces of invalid 
recipients are sub-optimal but a fact of life, sending a post-delivery
spam 
notice is intentionaly attacking innocent bystanders.)
