The message
from hugh ] contains these words:

By bouncing you are often upsetting an innocent person and wasting
bandwidth.

Yes you are right, but on the other hand I sometimes think that the only
way to get ISPs to do something about all this crap is for everybody to
start bouncing everything!!!!

I wish it worked that way.

If something is bounced to a nonexistent address it goes straight into
the bit-bucket. If something is bounced back to a forged address, it
usually just gets dumped in a personal bit-bucket.

The only hope is that MPs' mailboxen attract so much spam that they are
moved to do something about it.

Perish the thought that their e-mail addresses should constantly be
posted on Usenet, of course.......
