I got some of those to my of my other addresses. It came "from"
a non-existant address on my system - I idly clicked the "bounce"
button and the bounce bounced.

I've retired the address. It was starting to attract too much
spam.

Damned brainless email archivers!

I think something useful could (maybe) be done with sendmail's
mfilter capability, but it's beyond what I want to do for the
present.

Does anyone have any ideas on rules to allow one to return 5xx 
errors to senders because the _content_ is unacceptable.
