Spam Bounce action issues

[Max Kipness]

Well, I have to as I need to let legitimate senders know that their
email did not get through and that they must contact us to get added to
a white list. We have had many senders get added to the white list this
way.

I run a script every 15 minutes that cleans the queue of bounces
attempting to get sent to invalid addresses.

Thanks,
Max
