By having users use vacation without a filter to stop it from replying to spam, or accepting virus mail then generating a new error, you are engaged in a DDOS against the people who's address is forged into the mail. We have users getting 3-6 THOUSAND such bounces a day. So yes, I'm glad SpamCop is blocking sites that do this. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
