RE: Email Forward/Auto Response

About the only way that company-x could force email bound for
company-y to come to one of its servers is by publishing a
fraudulent MX record -- and I think that in turn should probably
require them to claim to be authoritative for company-y's
domain.
Ideally, company-x should find it harder and harder to locate
an ISP that will continue to do business with them after a stunt
like that.

Subject: Email Forward/Auto Response

What is required to occur if company X (company-x.com) wants
to activate an email auto-response for email sent to Joe Blow
at joeblow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and insure that email sent to this
address is not read, forwarded, stored or archived?

Also, would there be any security or compliance risks
associated with doing this (if it is even technically possible)?
