<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have recently experienced a very
large increase in “returned” emails as “undeliverable.” I now receive over
500 each day. The SpamBayes filter, of course, places them in the Spam
folder and they are later deleted permanently. I don’t know for sure, but
I suspect that since virtually all of this returned email is coming from servers
that were used to forward spam which SpamBayes filtered, the filter program must
be sending a message back, asking to be “unsubscribed” – and that the result is
an ever-increasing cycle of repeated “returned” emails from those servers.
Stated differently, are these new returned emails being sent to me caused by
“reply” emails being sent by SpamBayes, asking that my address be “unsubscribed,
which are then returned back to me as “undeliverable?” If so, is there any
way to disable the SpamBayes feature that sends a reply email asking that I be
unsubscribed?</SPAN></FONT></P>
