The imporant thing to remember here is not to worry about the other side,
only worry about your own machine. Any collateral spam generated by the other
side as a result of your error is *their fault* and not yours at all. If the
other side weren't an open relay or hosting spammers then the transaction
wouldn't have started in the first place. Just wanted to emphasize Marc's
message by putting it bluntly.
Of course this is different than CR because CR offloads the filtering and
responsibility to other people. That is when it does become your fault and ya
should be strung up, quartered, evicerated, hung, shot, asphixiated and then
/really hurt/. ;)
