On the one hand, the word bounce /was/ used all over the place on that
page -- but on the other hand, I luv the spamlinks site;  and on the
other other hand [for those of you who have some extras], that page does
a great job of comprehensively discussing bouncing, rejecting, and
properly configuring servers to cope with some issues.

If the word bounce /is/ ever used 'loosely', it should be accompanied by
a page like that to avoid any ambiguity.  ;-)

That page also has a link to a discussion of the fake bounce, including
the par 'fake bounces considered harmful' and a list of a bunch of
products which perform fake bounces, which I'd never seen before.  I
should be beating up on more than MailWasher.
