I haven't seen anything that isn't a bounce message, an out-of-office

*not* that common.
I can give you dozen sample emails from last week right now. Including
handwritten mails from people, that come from strange systems (Lotus, Live
Mail, Horde/IMP..) sending as null. There's a lot more, I don't have time to
check every mail. It *is* common. And this server only passes 15k mails a
day.
You are only talking about your own mailfeed, right? I can't believe you
would say this otherwise.
Do you want a bug opened?
Nah, that's ok ;)
Well, frankly I have too much on my plate to start working on this too. So
I'll let it sleep for now. :)
After my fix in the 20_vbounce.cf I had also several FPs, the most
significant the SA-bugzilla account confirmation mail. :-| Reason for
this was the simple match on 'daemon' in the "From:" -line regexp.
Is somebody already working on an enhancement of the ruleset?
Otherwise, if you can provide some of your FP's (and maybe some real
backscatter) I can imagine to put them together with mine and try to
improve the rules a little bit in the next few weeks.
BTW: Also for me 'null senders' are not common - never had problems with
this, except UBE. Correctly configured servers/clients should not
produce such mails, IMHO.
