Please do not reply to an old thread to create a new one. It screws with
viewing in threaded mode and means the subject is completely irrelevant
to the subject matter of the email.
With regard to your question, I would recommend fixing your underlying
issue rather than trying to break the good behavior of the MTA.
Rather than ignoring all the bounce messages and rejections, how about
you clean your spam^H^H^H^Hemail list of all those addresses that don't
want to receive your "content" or that are invalid. Then they wont
clutter up the queue and your spam^H^H^H^Hemail operation will go nice
and fast again.
