RE: RE : Don't BOUNCE the list!

SO the software can't have a whitelist? You don't need to look at context.
If it is from lists.securitybasics.com or has the standard header info there
is no need to look any further. 

I also agree, then don't bounce anything at all. Then I know I got a live
email address and I just have to beat the filters.
