{SPAM} Emails Not Bouncing

[NateDog]

Hey thanks for clearing that up for me.  I guess it was working before (a
week ago) because I had an older version.  I'll look into this and see what
my other possibilities are.  My only concern is new customers.  Sometimes
(when using the older version) I would get a call because the email said to
contact me.  They would tell me they got an email bounced back and then I
would add them to the whitelist.  I guess I'll look further into this and
see if I can figure out what I'm going to do instead.  I never liked the
idea of bouncing emails back to spammers but I had to do it because those
may have been customers you know?  If you have any other suggestions about
what I should do in my situation let me know.  And I'll look into the SMTP
layer rejection stuff and see if that'll do what I'm needing.  But I'm open
to alternative ideas to try also.  Thanks for your help Matt and Kevin.

P.S.  And why the heck did my email get marked as SPAM to the list? lol
