When I forward something to blackhole, does the sender get an SMTP reject code, or do they "think" it was delivered?

Hi kwdavids,

I tested this just to be sure, and :blackhole: discards the email or sends it into the abyss I guess. Smile No return to the sender.  :fail: on the other hand bounces a message back to the sender to say it failed delivery.

I hope this helps.

Ok. That's what I expected. By the time these filters work get into play, the Lunarpages SMTP server has already accepted the message.

Darn. I really don't want to run my own SMTP server.
