also it's probably best for them to accept the email bounces and just send 
them to /dev/null .. than to try to bounce/reject them. My dual PIII 650 
could fairly easily accept and /dev/null 2.4m messages/day so I'm sure a 
modern university can do better than that. (though granted it is damned 
annoying).
