[ale] Spam filtering

[George Johnson]

You ever tried to write back to tell the sender to stop sending the spam and
it comes back undeliverable?  That is what I mean.  If you could have your
server test it and find it undeliverable then drop the original
automatically so you never see it.

What, exactly, do you mean "test the validity of the sending server?" I'm
not sure what you mean by "valid."
