Yeah, I know. That's why I have graphics display turned off in my mail 
client. I don't know exactly what to do about that.

If possible, can an email client send a faked "bounceback" message? or 
does that have to come from the server? Maybe an "SirvEu Mail Control 
v1.0"-friendly ISP will let you manage your whitelist on their server. I 
dunno. Any ideas? :)
