Hmm probably something that isnt going to happen now that all domains are valid a la verisign Its when spammers take your domain name and use it as their from address, it *used* to get around sender verify in smtp which a lot of smtp servers implement. Basicalyl if you're being joe jobbed you will get the bounce messages from all the email addresses the spammers are sending to that dont exist. The one that they're doing on my own domain which I mentioned on list some months ago is still going strong with many Mbs of bounces per day.. I think its fair to say there is very little you can do as tracking the source is almost impossible.. Steve
