Interesting that your address is being used for SPAM, I haven't seen that,
usually the addresses are randomly generated.
I tried to contact the postmaster at mcmathlaw.com to comment on their SPAM
filter and say that I thought it was a joke and would feel bad to be one of
their users because who knows how much email they aren't seeing and
interestingly enough I get back...
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host mail.mcmathlaw.com[64.139.70.12] said: 550
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Recipient unknown (in reply to RCPT TO
command)
So they are spoofing an address on the responses to alleged SPAM. Cracks me
up. That puts them in the category of SPAM IMO.

I've been getting a lot of bounces lately from spam with forged headers, and
I report them all as spam. I have my spam settings pretty loose, and block
most with RBLs & static, in-house blacklists. I get very few
false-positives, and most of those end up in my quarantine, where I can add
them to a whitelist. It's extra work for me, but still better than spamming
other innocent people, and ending up blacklisted.

I think for SPAM this is probably good because if it isn't SPAM, the headers
weren't forged and it may be nice to know that someone didn't get the
message. For instance, say you were sending some fairly important message
and you know that RR was disabled on their mail system, you would have to
assume they got it or worse, call them to ask if they got it - "Yeah... I
just sent you an email, did you get it...
derrr".
For AV stuff, yes, I absolutely agree, do not send messages back saying the
message I sent had a virus. I hate that because I know I didn't send a
message with a virus but some numbskull who happens to have my email address
in their contacts sent it.

Setting spam filters to send a reply is, IMHO, totally irresponsible, since
the From: headers on spam are ALWAYS forged. The admins at these
organizations then complain about getting listed on RBLs, because they are
effectively relaying spam. Sorry about the soapbox speech -- just a bit of a
pet peeve...

LOL. The previously attached EML kicked off even more SPAM filters, 11 at
last count. That just cracks me right up. A society in fear of SPAM and
viruses....

Looks like MCMATHLAW.COM has their SPAM filter (MDaemon) set a little on the
sensitive side.... I would hate to be behind that filter, can't imagine how
much mail they are missing.

MDaemon has identified your message as spam. It will not be delivered.
