Yes. Some spammers legs should be broken. The problem is that some
spammer sends mail with a forged envelope from of say,
suzy1234@???. Spam with that sender goes to thousands of
addresses, many of them don't work. The bounces then go to
suzy1234@???, but that user doesn't exist on freenet-ag.de.
Depending on when there is the rejection, freenet-ag.de is stuck with a
large number of undeliverable error messages. Unless you play with
ignore_errmsg_errs these will freeze.
