Spam Bounce action issues

[Alan]

I too am one of those that feels I must send bounce messages to senders so
that they are aware that their email was not accpeted, rather than them
thinking 'no news is good news'. In my defense, I do run a narrow band
between low scoring spam that I bounce and high scoring spam that I do not
bounce. I also do not bounce any virus non-deliveries.

Now, on to how I prevent my own customers from receiving bounce reports so
that they do not receive erroneous reports from messages with forged from
headers.

I utilize MS's "spam.nobounce.rules" rule set, and place an entry in it to
delete messages identified as spam where the 'From' address is from my
domain. Identified spam from other domains has an action of 'delete bounce'.

So, considering that my domain is 'elknet.net', my 'spam.nobounce.rules'
file looks like this:

   From:           *@elknet.net    delete
   FromorTo:       default         delete bounce

That takes care of the problem for me!
