Is it possible to....

iis smtp nntp:

I have a two-step mail process. The front end is a Symantec product
that does the RBL/SPAM/Virus checking. Accepted messages are then sent
on to Exchange.

The problem is: When spammers send "guess-mail" (smith@mydomain.com)
it generates a bounce that comes back to the Symantec server which
then wastes time sending/resending the bounce message to a
non-existant domain.

It's been suggested to me that I forward the bounces to another SMTP
server that simply drops the messages without sending a bounce.

Hello Brad,

Check and see if you have a setting for your mailserver to delete unknown
mail. I do this on my server. So when I an email comes to my server that is
not recognized it deletes it

Hope I helped
