Really, Henry, I'm surprised that you haven't patched your mailer to throw away those bounce messages. After all, if the person sending mail wants it to get through, he ought to check that the address is correct himself by reading the RFCs and the mail maps. And if we throw away all badly addressed messages without sending bounce reports, it'll encourage people to make their mailers more intelligent, won't it? mathew
