Hotmail Boomerang handles NDRs
By Mark Gibbs on Thu, 07/14/05 - 2:37pm.Omar Shahine, lead program manager, Virtual PC for the Mac, wrote about a technology called Boomerang on his blog:
Boomerang allows us to nuke any NDR messages that were not a result of YOU sending mail. ... We have some code that tags your outbound messages. If the email recipients reply to your message, and they are using a modern mail client, that message will find its way back to you; just like a boomerang. If the message reaches an address that does not exist you will receive notification of that Non Delivery, and you will not get spam messages disguised as NDRs, or NDRs that are a result of some one hijacking your email address.
