I have my IMF set to archive mail. I read and article that I cannot seem to

Sending messages back is not a good idea. 99.99999% will be real spam
that the IMF captures. Imagine the problems you'd have if you
advertised to people what your addressing schema is, let people know
what was valid and what wasn't valid.

Not pretty.
