It could be a problem if you accidently send a reply to all the subscribers of a lsit, instead of to the list itself, but other than that it sounds good.

Now, I have a campus account that I don't use that has been hijacked by spammers (everyonce in a while I get something bounced back through into the account I actually use. This is common with the campus accounts, apparently...I know squat about it as will soon be demonstrated...)
I wasn't sure if this means that I'll suddenly start getting all the spammers crap back in my account or if they will get all the crap back they have been sending through me. If the latter, cool. If the former.....uh oh....

Thats nice but I would still rather have spammers sent to Saudi Arabia and have their hands cut off, but it is a start.
That's the best news I've heard all day!

What happens if the spammer has the same system and sets the E-mails he sends it to as "unwanted" or "known spammers"?
