Hello *,

since some days I am hit by several 10.000 backscatters  (MAILER-DAEMON,
postmaser, noreply).

I like to know how you are dealing with it.

Since I am on GSM/Dialup, I am currently not more able to read my  email
I use here to post...


Where is your mail hosted? You use gsm/dialup to download mail from a server
connected to the internet with a better connection?  Is procmail the only
solution you're using?




I am thinking to send this crap back to the origination server with:

You're threatening to DoS?  It's apparent you're frustrated, and that's
understandable, but it doesn't justify retaliation.

Good, this is currently working and it bombed out over  23.000  messages
today but I have over 35.000 waiting from the last weekend...

Any better ways to stop them sending out backscatters?


What have you tried instead? Are you using a whitelist? What's the role of
this email address you're receiving so much backscatter to?  tbh, your
approach is very unprofessional.
