A rhetorical question. Really an observation. Has SPF reduced the false
bounces?
My domain has been "joe jobbed" so I have been receiving lots of bounces
for emails that I didn't send. I had to switch off the wild card for my
domain and the following grep of the log identifies the the "don't accept"
message I put in Sendmail.
Four weeks ago, I received 18,052 attempts to send mail to non-existent
users. Last week, I received 6,400. This week, after three days, it is
only 228.
