man, I got this email from Apple, one of their news letters, it said give a rwal one two punch to spammers. you just goto your junk mail folder selct all then bounce to sender. Seemed like a good idea so I did it. I have been receiving notices from 'postoffice' at mac.com about undeliverable mail for 3 days now. It should be illegal for these advertisers to put fake return addresses on their spam.



There should be a way to force spammers to reveal where they got your email address from. I get these emails that say its not spam because I signed up with one of their third party partners. I wanna know who this third party is so I can forward all my spam mail to them!

    Most of the spammers use use and throw accounts or anyway put wrong info to the headers. Generally bouncing reduces a bit the spam, but I guess better put a filter to put all those post office notifies to go to trash [and check once a day there?]

    Hell, I get bounced emails from postmaster@hotmail.com and msn.com all the time because some spammer is using my email address as the reply-to address in his spam.



    Really pissing me off, and not a damn thing I can do about it. It should be illegal, but really, how are you going to police that?
