What Dan was saying is, the mail will still pass through your server,
therefore wasting bandwidth and resources. We have been bothered lately by
spammers using our .com domain name as their sender name. They spam us with
100+. Every time we blick the ip, they just use another one. We need to find
a way to stop them from sending mail to our servers.
