Right. However, Murray recalled Section 6.3 of SMTP: Whatever mechanisms are used, servers MUST contain provisions for detecting and stopping trivial loops. Mailbombing in general is not a loop. Two report generators reporting each other's failure to authenticate a failure report /is/ a loop. So it deserves a MUST. Perhaps: Reporters SHOULD rate limit the number of failure reports sent to any recipient to avoid overloading recipient systems. In addition, reporters MUST ensure that such rate limiting or any other means can effectively stop possible mail loops. ? Best Ale --
