Not my problem. I don't need or want, and should not be hammered with, virus "warnings" sent to forged addresses -- ever.

That's good. Unfortunately it is not the case for most commercial anti-malware products.
nevertheless, DSNs are not Unsolicited Bulk Email.
I don't see how this is relevant to my paragraph above. I was not equating DSNs to UBE -- I specifically mentioned virus "warnings". Whether those warnings are look like DSNs, smell like DSNs, or taste like DSNs is wholly irrelevant; they are still UBE if sent to forged virus sender addresses. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
