I use NTMAIL and it has a feature that restricts the number of recepients
an email could have ( RCPT clause limit per message ). I set it to a small
number ( 55 ). I could set it lower and further discourage the SPAMMER from
using me as a staging point since they have to send and send again.
It's not your perfect solution, but it does some good.
Hope Post.Office has that feature.
Btw, NTMAIL has JUCE. People claim it stopped 99% of all the SPAMMING going
thru their servers.
