handling spam from gmail.

[Marc Roos]

You do not understand how mail works. Google mail is only getting 
through when spf checks and the likes are being passed.

I am not creating any problems with this, I am just bouncing them back. 
Google has enough billions to handle these issues. If everyone would 
apply this procedures, people with legitimate email accounts would move 
from a  spam network to some other provider. People joining these 
providers are the problem, because it allows these networks to mix spam 
with legitimate email.

When clients start moving out, spam networks are becoming easier to hard 
block and these providers start thinking about their infrastructure and 
their bussines model. 
If everyone would be doing this, it is solving the spam problem.

My below procedure should be applicable for any network generating a lot 
of spam.

and i am sick of people not understanding how email works! you don't 
send unasked mail to a in the most cases forged sender unless you want 
to be part of the problem

backscatters and brainless autoreplies have to be burnt with fire
