Not my problem. I don't need or want, and should not be hammered with, virus "warnings" sent to forged addresses -- ever. They are unsolicited (I didn't request it, and definitely don't want it), bulk (automated upon receipt of viruses by the offending server), e-mail... thus UBE.
I know of no cases where a malware related DSN would be generated by our products,
That's good. Unfortunately it is not the case for most commercial anti-malware products.
nevertheless, DSNs are not Unsolicited Bulk Email.
I don't see how this is relevant to my paragraph above. I was not equating DSNs to UBE -- I specifically mentioned virus "warnings". Whether those warnings are look like DSNs, smell like DSNs, or taste like DSNs is wholly irrelevant; they are still UBE if sent to forged virus sender addresses. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org> <tv@pobox.com> <todd@vierling.name>
