So that means we can start answering questions like this with a simple "search the archives" again? No problem. :-)

There are several reasons why this horse gets beaten over and over again:

- For most of us it is simply wrong (not to say stupid in most circumstances) to bounce spam.

- Most people who are bouncing spam do not understand the implications. Many do not even seem to know that senders are faked or that this is actively used as a joe job attack. 


Therefore everytime such a person simply writes a "how do I bounce spam"-like question, we feel obliged to "answer" and tell him/her all the implications.
