[Bug 360689] Re: Default Ubuntu configuration is backscatter source in Jaunty

True, but it's far more common that it's bad content sent from a forged
address.  Not sending backscatter is a clear best pracice these days.

More experienced admins might set up a quarantine/release system
(amavisd-new supports this), but such a system is too complex for a
default.  I think no backscatter is a good default approach.  It's easy
enough to change for people experienced enough to manage the
consequences.

** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
