We have a situation were our domain name is being used to create false
addresses for spamming and we are getting the bounce backs when the Spam
goes to a bad address.  We could reject all e-mail with bad addresses but
what if a customer sends an e-mail that is only off by a character?  So we
sort through the bounce backs...

I heard about that too, and I've gotten those too, but there
are some of these security packages that have an option to
return an email like this. One security expert article in
one of the trade mags even said they limited this option to
only once per from-address!

Some correspondents have certainly had these infections that
have tried to infect me, and I've caught them, and no virus
or such ever got me till Blaster got my XP, through a hole
that who'd 've thought it.

was infected.
