Do yo not understand that this exactly doubles the amount of mail
associated with a piece of SPAM. (or W32Swen/Gibe@mm)...

This is getting ridiculous. I already have to manage 2000+ Spam-Mails a
day, NOW I get to receive a notification that the mail I sent (well
supposedly sent) from some unknown place was not acceptable... FINE. I
already know this. Best practice at this point is to just delete the
mail, especially if you have some type of bayes spam detector.

Please for the love of Mike... don't auto-notify spoofed addresses. I
know you mean no harm, but it does harm. Eats my bandwidth and yours.
