Well, as far as I can tell from that document, SRS is great at saying,
"yep, this is a legit bounce message". But, if SRS says it doesn't seem
to be, aren't you rather back at square 1? A message that looks like a
regular e-mail, doesn't really have any spam characteristics (Viagra,
etc., just 'this mail was not delivered' or other such non-spammy text),
and yet one that I still want to block? How would SRS help deal with that?

Consider using SRS. I wrote a (now somewhat older) doc about it, at:

But it gives you an idea. There's good C implementations for it, these
days, and it will definitely stop ALL fake bounce, with no FPs.

Subject: Ways to block bouncebacks?
Hi,
I'm running Spamassassin on my server because of my cPanel installation
and have been for ages. It's been working GREAT for blocking spam, and
I'm happy about that. However, of late, I've been joe-jobbed majorly,
and I'm receiving thousands of bounceback messages in probably 20+
different languages that I don't want. :-( I'm prepared to lose
bounceback messages to my genuine e-mails, to avoid all these.
So, I have 2 questions.
1. Is it possible to have a Spamassassin rule that considers subjects
that contain a character glyph not used by the English or French
languages (obviously punctuation, numbers, and some other stuff would
also be allowed) to be spam?
2. Is there a Spamassassin rule that tries to catch any bounceback
message (unfortunately in any language, I am getting bounceback messages
in most languages known to mankind) to be spam?
Best regards,
Jeremy Morton (Jez)
