I guess I'm still not being clear. There are 120K emails a day coming to INVALID EMAIL ADDRESSES THAT NEVER EXISTED. Its not a case of a user being fickle, its a case that they are emailing addresses that NEVER EVER ACTUALLY EXISTED. About 1 ever 3/4 of a second. So running them through ANYTHING is counter productive since , atleast in my eyes, if you try to email an email address that never existed... ITS SPAM. Its not things the user ever sees/knows, etc. I have in my sendmail virtusertable:[EMAIL PROTECTED] bingo [EMAIL PROTECTED] bango [EMAIL PROTECTED] bongo [EMAIL PROTECTED] irving [EMAIL PROTECTED] nobody The user doesn't even SEE the emails, and processing what they consider spam I really don't care about. But getting 120K emails to *@ that are absolutely known spam... I would like to help the community out by reporting them to every system possible. Yea, if the added benefit is the mail that bingo, bango, bongo and irving gets filtered a little better... I won't complain at all. Tuc
Just because mail goes to invalid addresses does not mean it is spam. people do mistype addresses some time. so this "corpus" is not safe.
