Subject: [Exim] MAIL FROM:<>
Hmm.

It seems that a lot of people (including spammers themselves) are
rejecting bounces addressed from "MAIL FROM: <>"

"501 bogus MAIL FROM"

I want to deal with this somehow.

Is it possible to configure exim not to use MAIL FROM:<>,
but use, say, postmaster (not strictly obeying the protocol I know)

Or,

is it better just to sink the resulting frozen failed bounce messages
in the bit bucket and not worry about this?

Rob
