I have heard from a couple external users that are pretty irate that our bounces are going to them when their address was spoofed. They say that the RFC is wrong and we should just reconfigure our environment according to their specifications. In fact, that is SpamCop's contention also. We haven't done that yet.
I'm certainly not rabid on the topic, but generally I agree, the RFC reflects the courtesy of a gentler age. If possible, bounce messages should not be sent so liberally as we once have done. -- Regards, -- Cal Frye, Network Administrator, Oberlin College www.calfrye.com, www.pitalabs.com "We need a kind of feminism that aims not just to assimilate into the institutions that men have created over the centuries, but to infiltrate and subvert them." -- Barbara Ehrenreich.
