I use it to bounce spam and I'm curious if it's really effective. Has anyone looked at mailwasher? I use it to bounce spam and I’m curious if it’s really effective.

Guess I'm messing up some terminology again. You live as long as you learn. I use Psoft's H-sphere admin panel on my web host, and the option there would be to "Discard all incoming mail" on your "catch all" account. Enjoy the summer. Oops, my bad!

If you've got a webhost with cpanel, using REJECT will do what I'm talking about. It doesn't generate bounces when spammers mail you and are turned away. It also doesn't generate double bounces. But there are lots of mailservers that lack this functionality, or it isn't default. Sadly Umm, Simon,

(But since the fall of BlueFrog the spammers really have taken things to another/next level.) And I can't wait for the 70 million unsupported Windows 98/Me machines to become zombies in a bot network. And you are probably right about the big mail providers too. The blackhole is a good idea for people not collecting stats. Cant help but to wonder if email will be rendered useless in the near future.

What you need to do, is to turn off catch all, and reject mail to non-existent users. Not bounce, just reject. E-mail me if you need help. I'm available for consulting. I can even build a server for you, if you like? You know, we're even in the same country! To Old useless friend:

Idea: Forward your honeypot (catch all) account to your gmail, yahoo and hotmail/msn account. Its about time they implement spf. And hopefully some of the "big guys" in the market will get pissed at the spammers? Anyone?
