looping problem

2002-02-25 09:34:53
I sent an email to the list over the weekend but I got no copy in my own
mail box so I don't think it got out. If this is a repeat, I apologize,
but I haven't seen any responses either, hence the resubmit.

I have a spam filter (right out of Stopping Spam - O'reilly) that bounces
mail back to the sender if they aren't recognized and/or authorized via a
key phrase. My problem is, what to do if both sender and receiver have
this filter? I'm thinking that I can add a string to the subject line on
the outgoing bounce or scan the entire message body for my original bounce
message. The latter seems safer but more CPU intensive.

Anyone have any other thoughts on this situation?

Thanks,

--p
