Hi,
I was told it was the done thing to bounce but to not include the original message text. That way spammers can't bombard your server using fake return addresses and have it dutifully send that spam to all the fake addresses.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hello,
Personally, I always configure my email services to reject unknown recipients, don't really need to elaborate why.
Is it becoming common practice to sliently drop messages instead of bouncing them (because of forged return-paths) ?
thanks,
Isaac.
