But, don't bounce messages unless the sender is in your email domain.
Reject the message at SMTP time (using ACL's) if you possibly can. That
way, you avoid generating collateral spam. Remember, if it's spam, then the
sender address is almost always forged, so it's a really bad idea to bounce
the message.
