Thanx Mark,

We decided to go with the bounce_size_limit = 1 .   This way a bounce is 
sent back so the sender knows they messed up, but does not send the 
credit-card numbers back out.

We also found that it has alot of false positives, for which we have 
sent in bug fixes.

Have a great day!

Rob.
