Yes, right. But the abuser would simply forward an a-mail with sa scores to the fake originator of the triggering e-mail. I think that would be mostly useless to spammers. Also, if the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' address is not too widely disclosed, there shouldn't be chance. Finally, if it becames to be abused, he would easily change address.

It could be used for a DOS attack if nothing else. But most likely you would be forwarding blowback to the faked recipients, and they would start reporting you as a spammer. Which is what you would actually be in this case.

The solutions of pre-enabling the sending howt in the loopback app, or having a very specific test message format, are your two best solutions. You should be able to have Procmail handle the second case all by itself. Maybe it could even do the first method; I don't know.
