Restating the obvious: Eliminating the big worry from anti-spam
filtering, that you might flag non-spam as spam, never see it, though
the recipient thought you did (because they had no error indication).
Once you've removed that "black hole" you're gained a much more useful
mail system.
Heh - one thing I use procmail rules for is to deposit the uol-MUNGED.br
challenge/response messages into the infinite big bucket in /dev/null.
It reduces my blood pressure and it leaves them guessing.
