OK...but, if the mail is forged, aren't I going to get a bounce message
back?  If that's the case, I'd rather just bit bucket the stuff.

I used to do something similar with a UUCP gateway...and the ISP finally
asked me to stop...as the number of bounces were. as he put it,
"approaching the high pain level."

But, the tendancy is to want to rub the spammer's face in the cat box,
isn't it?
