Another problem with bouncing is that almost all of spam email forge the >From header. So if the OP is bouncing spam emails, they go to some other person (often known misdirected bounces) and not to the spammer. I suggest you follow Andrew suggestion and just reject spam emails at the smtp level using 55x error if you want to reject an email. Please stop bouncing emails. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
