Well, we all know how those Postfix folks think, don't we! <g>

I think some people must be confusing bouncing spam with sender
verification.  Two different beasts entirely.  Sender verification takes
virtually no bandwidth, and the byte count it takes are certainly much
fewer than what you'll find in the body of a spam message.  If I can
spend a nickle to not have to spend a dime it's worth it every time...
