It certainly seems inappropiate (in my humble opinion) to
generate automatic return mail on the network.  Sites which
dislike receiving net.jokes.* or net.test should refuse
acceptance of the traffic, NOT generate MORE traffic for the
already loaded and costly network.  Just think what happens
if someone builds a return letter to your return letter generator!
