What would the filter look like?  I assume this would be in exim?

I use procmail personally, but I don't know how to bounce a message.  Can
you show an exmaple?  I don't know about setting procmail up system wide,
or for every user individually, but for those who want it, like myself, I'd
like to know how to set up this rule.

I have noticed that they simply resend on bounce more often than not.  I
lowered the trigger to 13.0, and my exim logs grew substantially. :P

Thanks for the help, and I wanted to apologize to the list for not snipping
my last email.  I was very rushed on multiple fronts, and I simply forgot
before pressing send. ^^;
