Unfortunately SIMS can't be used with a Demon account to bounce mail based on bad MAIL FROM addresses. The punts do *not* like being cut off at this stage and the result is that SIMS will bounce all remaining messages from that connection. Bouncing at RCPT TO is fine and gets rid of the two-thirds of my junk which is badly addressed. (Usually the same junk to three different addresses, so I get just one copy.) By the way, no prizes for guessing that Demon blame Stalker for this and the reply from the SIMS mailing list blames Demon... Not that I've had any reply at all from Stalker themselves, despite e-mailing them. Chris.
