[Mimedefang] Bouncing HTML and other things...

THe whole reason I installed MIMEdefang was to help some of the people 
who get mail on my server under their domains.

I already had rDNS checks going on which was effectively bouncing 5000+ 
emails a month to me alone... they didn't want that because a couple of 
their vendors couldn't email them.

Rather than the vendor fixing the problem with a few helpful emails from 
me, my "customers" wanted rDNS turned off for them.

Thus, opening the flood of spam. One guy was got ~275 spams in 2 days.

Ouch.

So here we are. Heheh.

I've always kinda hated HTML mail.

That and people who don't trim the forward list from their "THIS IS SO 
TRUE" emails.. Grrr...

They just need to make spam ILLEGAL. Not like these stupid bills in the 
US congress now. I say we all set our forward filters to forward spam to 
our local representatives that vote YES to those bills.

ANyone ever read up over at SpamHaus.org? Good Stuff. I like it.
