You'd think there was a crisis or something.

I work for a big company. A really big company. We have a pretty good IT department, and they're good at keeping my users from getting junk mail. Good, but not perfect.

I have about 100 users. In the past two days 3/4 of them have been in my office bitching about getting TWO emails that weren't caught by the filters.

You'd think they were being torn apart by bulls.

For the purpose of comparison, you should get IT to turn off filtering for the complaining users, so they can see how good a job the filters are doing. If your place looks anything like our place, your spam/virus system is throwing away over 90% of the total volume of incoming mail because it's crap or infected.

I did that once while talking with the mail admin at the ISP i was working at a little while ago. In a fit of evil, he turned on the bounce redirect to my address for 5 minutes. 5,000 spams later ... we turned it off again.

yah, the internet's working still.

i offer to do that to anyone who complains about spam.. and if they're really complaining i offer to do that and turn off greylisting for 10 minutes.

haven't had anyone taking me up on it yet. :)

I hope your email administrator isn't backscattering "bouncing" the rejected messages, but actually rejecting them before they get to the DATA stage.
