I don't know who Chris is, he clearly sounds like a MW bounce feature
apologist/ supporter.  I also don't see any evidence at a popular MW
support forum^1 that there has been any change in the default
configuration about the bogus bouncing -- so my first reaction is that
Chris /sounds/ like a MW 'person' -- and my position toward the MW
developers is that they are liars.  They lie about bouncing in their
promotion and they mislead those who would use MW -- so I think I will
start by calling Chris a liar.

That page was active as recently as Fri Jan 28, and in it a stan_qaz of
the special response team was telling the folks about spamcop's new
policy about reporting misdirected bounces and he sez this

<snip>
The interesting point for mailwasher developers is the suggestion on
preventing forged bounces.

I have suggested similar actions in the past but they haven't made the
feature list but with this change in spamcop.net policy I think this
deserves a another look and a high priority - before mailwasher users
start getting major grief for forging e-mails!

So, I'm saying Chris is full of sh*t -- and if he wants to tell some
lies to someone about what MW is doing, he should go tell the MW forum
people some of his lies so they can straighten him out.
