Nor me. Our MX hosts are firewalled off from on-campus machines, so
garbage offered by buggy on-site MUAs etc aren't an issue. If there's
anything else legitimate, it's either a MUA delivering direct-to-MX, in
which case I hope it shows them the message we gave them, or a deeply
buggy MTA at another site, in which case they should have logged it...
Cheers,
Alun.
