[Spambayes] Bouncing...

[Coe, Bob]

That's been brought up several times, and it's dealt with in the Spambayes FAQ. The consensus seems to be that it's a bad idea - adds to network traffic, and most origin addresses are forged anyway. So the poor sap who gets the bounce messages isn't the spammer who sent out the crap. (I've been that poor sap on several occasions, so I see their point.)

Hi Guys...

Been using for about a year - and it works happily...

Fank you...

 

More recently had mail with cool bg's; thought I'd try 'em - comes from Incredimail.com

And I'll keep it in the background for use as & when...

 

However, they have a very similar program to yours, integrated into their user interface...

 

What they do and it would appear that yours don't, is offer to bounce the crap back to whosoever...!

 

I thought this was pretty cool - any chances that you might include this in you new model...???

 

I'll pay some...

 

Kind Regards

Ian Cawley
