e.g. making MTAs record bounces to non existing local addresses may

It would require MTA to reject messages from <> to non existing local

bounce but keep for possible legal action
Legally require people to keep a copy of bounces to non-existent
addresses?
I merely suggested making it "technically possible" and recomended, you
suggest the logical next step - making it legally required for (some?)
companies/ISPs.
[I will try to use more precise wording next time]
Sigh. Time to buy another disk I guess.
Tapes may be more suitable for the task.
How many messages from <> to non existing local users YOUR site bounces
per day ?
Of course there's the minor problem that that means I have to collect
the message instead of bounce it at RCPT time.
Replace "have to" by "can" to get what I wanted to suggest.
Who's going to pay for the upgrade to my bandwidth?
You. Have you expected another answer ?
Are you ready to tell in public that you do not give a dam about who
fakes sender addresses in your email domain ?
