RE: [announce] mailbounce tool

BTW, does anyone else do this trick?  Not as flexible, but a lot
simpler ...

When I want to bounce a message for <jdoe(_at_)(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)>, I simply 
forward it to
<jdoe(_at_)EXAMPLE(_dot_)COM> (literally "example.com").  Since DNS 
intentionally
has neither an A nor an MX record for EXAMPLE.COM, my local
immediately MTA bounces it back as undeliverable.  The text of the
bounce-o-gram varies depending on how I do this (sometimes it says the
original address failed, sometimes it says "jdoe(_at_)example(_dot_)com" 
failed),
but it's a legit MTA-produced bounce in any case.
