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.
