The fact that you can call back in no way means that bounces won't double-bounce into the postmaster mailbox. I'm sure that yahoo.com would buy into a callback scheme, but it wouldn;t have done squat for this double-bounce: ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mx1.mail.yahoo.com.: >>> DATA <<< 554 delivery error: dd Sorry, your message to [email protected] cannot be delivered. This account is over quota. - mta461.mail.yahoo.com 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable (OK, so THIS double-bounce was a W32/Klez-H generated one, but I get enough of the same thing for spam with a Yahoo return adress). -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech Attachment:
