True, although I think Kate was talking about something akin to a
"SYSTEM: Undeliverable" type message ... it usually takes about two of these
from an address for a spammer's bot to remove that address from their lists.
Offhand I'm not sure how to generate them, although the postfix / qmail /
etc source should be a good guide .... they'd probably have to come from a
certain alias though (shouldn't be a problem if you control the domain /
hosts involved !)
