I have been getting more and more spam lately. As I look at the
headers, most spam appears to have been relayed by as many as 3-4
servers. For instance,
Received: from chi6-1.relay.mail.uu.net (chi6-1.relay.mail.uu.net
[199.171.54.98]) by vecna.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA26800 for

From: newyork1 at uole.com

so it starts at qwest.net in florida goes to proxychaco.chaco.com to
alter.net/uu.net to me.
If I had blocked the original qwest.net address address would the email
have bounced? Or if I had only blocked the chaco.com domain would the
email have bounced?
Mostly a curiousity.
