As I noted in my mail.  This appears to be happening now--although I 
had not seen symptoms of it before.  Is anyone else starting to see 
low-level occasional bounce back from spam?

Prior to that, all of the bounce-back instances I had heard of or 
experienced (and I used to get one or two a week) were major--where 
the entire spam load got sent out with the same return address.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
