@ Hi,

        OK, I think that I have it fixed, but I want to test this to make
sure that Spambouncer does not reply.
        Here are the headers from a typical message:

        I want to send about 50 test cases in rapid succession while I'm
using ps to make sure that Spambouncer is not autoreplying.
        How do I go about doing this?  I can pipe a forged header through
sendmail, but I'm not sure that this will create effect that I want.
        I assume there is a way to pipe this directly through procmail,
but I'm not sure how to do this.
        BTW, I called the sysop at the domain (ignacio.k12.co.us) being
used for this, and
explained that I had gotten 250 emails while we were talking, and he shut
off his server (I think that he was running an open relay).  I felt so
powerful (NOT!) ;)
