Absolutely right, but the default is supposed to be
blockreply=silent, at least according to http://www.spambouncer.org/.
Is this a bug in the recipe, or do I have another goof?
I've solved, at least temporarily, the problem on the other end.
I talked to the sysop, and convinced him that someone has an exploit with
his software ( IP*Works! MIME Component - www.nsoftware.com)...After I got
about 1500 emails over 6 hours. (luckily all with identical Message-Ids,
so I could kill them on that)
Why do people run mail servers on Windoze?
BTW, here are the headers from the email that got spambouncer to generate
replies:
