Not from the fission sense unless used to provide power. However, when someone is causing numerous bounces from a misconfigured box, I do pause to reconsider...

Most probably the mail was received by his ISP, then polled via fetchmail and fed to Postfix. If he misconfigured Postfix/some-MTA the mails are bouncing straight from his system (or his smarthost) to you. That is one of the reasons (aside from spammers grabbing addresses off the list archive) that I restrict mail reception to list addresses to the listserver. -- Sandy List replies only please!

I don't remember about when I signed on this list, but many other servers send a confirmation email, containing a link that must be used to confirm the application. With that method, it would be impossible to join the list with a bogus address. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
