It really depends on which of the SORBS DNSBLs you are on, since they all have differwent criteria and policies. what is the IP in question? > Worst, I have checked for the email > that got caught in the spamtrap and it's a bounce back from a forged from > spam, Sounds like a listing error then, so you would hope they would remove it once notified of their mistake. > therefore implying we should just drop emails rather than bouncing. Certainly it would be preferable to properly reject email that you do not wish to accept during the SMTP conversation. Once you have accepted it if you later decide you don't want it then yes you must generate a bounce, which can lead to problems like this not to mention bombarding innocent people with bounces to spam they never sent. However I wouldn't go as far as to say that bounced spam is spam therefore you are a spammer and should be blacklisted. -- http://strugglers.net/wiki/Xen_hosting -- A Xen VPS hosting hobby Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0x604DE5DB
