I prefer to send _one_ short, polite response to the postmaster at the address given, including the message AND all the headers. This way the innocent postmaster has what he needs to find out who's forging mail from his machine and he doesn't have 500 messages raining down on him from each of 1200 subscribers to the PIC list.
