Bleh, spammers.
The latest spammer trick is forged reply-to on stuff that's going out to unconfirmed addresses, so that if there's no one reading the email at the first address, the bounce message spams some other guy. In 8 hours overnight, I got 450 such spams that made it through my filters, another 50 caught by SpamAssassin, and a few hundred caught by the content-checking manual filters I set up when this bounce-spam first started (most of it is for sex videos and fake designer watches).
Unfortunately, last night's flood means I now have to subject-filter on bounce messages in general, since they've broadened their content too much for me to keep up that way. So now I can no longer see if I actually send an email that bounces...well, I could, but it would require reading my spam folders so often that it wouldn't be worth HAVING spam filters.
Congratulations, anonymous assholes, for contributing further to turning a useful tool into useless crap.
