I agree. I get them too, and I think in the last several years I've only 
found one legit email in the whole lot. So I dump the bounce msgs 
to /dev/null by hand.

What we really need is a utility like the little Amazon box that blocks 
phone numbers from a war dialer so nicely. I answer the phone here with 
a finger near the big red button, and I'll say go or hello twice in 3 
secs, if no human is on the line by then, its a war dialer looking for 
its human to sell me something, so the button gets pushed.  Never hear 
from that number again. Something that looks at the messages header and 
auto-composes a procmail recipe to kill it forever.  I'd install that in 
front of kmail in a heartbeat. I've had it about a year, the blocked 
counter is nearly 100.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
