Re: [Asrg] Some data on the validity of MAIL FROM addresses

Sending real messages is a bit risky for reasons other than just 
getting spam.  First of all, you can't send a bounce messages with no 
MAIL FROM (which you normally would) because you want to see the 
result.  Secondly, you run the risk of getting blacklisted as a 
spammer if you send too many test messages.  (Yes, it has happened to 
me.)

I don't want to imply or guess anything about those "too may test
messages," but it's worth noting something that too many people
conveniently forget or feel doesn't apply to their Special Needs.
Spam is never justified by any goal or desire of the spammer,
including any sort of surveying, testing, or avoiding spam.
