In particular when all that one would "learn" could be how to
decrease his toe size or how to email one or two legitimate email
addresses.
If I had time to spare I would trace the source (if I find a willing
ISP) and charge them for that (ah ah). What I really would like to do
is to ping them to death with a smile (always smile if you want to do
something effectively).
In the future I will exercise some control on what the postmaster
gets, although not as much as for other addresses.
A solution would perhaps be a daily report of the sender of
temporarily rejected emails, to which one could reply leaving in the
accepted ones. This reply can then be processed to let through those.
A bit of machinery and a cron job involved..
Sorry for the rant.
