Re: Autoresponder almost works now

Toen wij David W. Tamkin kietelden, kwam er dit uit:

virus-laden messages always have false
return addresses, so there's no gain in bouncing them, plus there is the
possible damage of sending the bounce to an innocent party whose address
was forged on the infected message that you're bouncing.

Those kind of bounces will get the IP-ranges of the delivering machines 
(could be your ISP's mailserver(s)) included in blocklists, causing 
damage to yourself and the people around you.
