I fully understand and I consider myself lucky to be in the position I am
to be able to do it and control my own mail destiny. I was wondering if
doing something like this would work -
ERROR:"550 We don't accept mail from spammers - Send mail to
xxx@yahoo.com"
or whatever you want to say..
for those who want a backup. The legitimate sender would have an
alternative address. I doubt the automated spam would pick it up.
