One last comment on bouncing spam (from me anyway :) ) Even if you do successfully get a bounce all the way to your friendly local spammer, a bounce from your mailer is easily distinguished from a bounce from your isp ( in most cases ).
In other words, it's just a dangerous as trying to unsubscribe from a spammers mail list. All you actually do is confirm that your email address exists, and hey bingo, you can join me on the magic million, double confirmed, opt-in only, address lists that spammers love to sell to each other :) Don't you just love those righteous spam emails you get that affirm that you are only receiving this junk cause you opted into whatever ? Like hell I did :) Regards, Joe On 7/8/05 04:16, "Bruce Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Aug 6, 2005, at 8:13 AM, David Rodriguez wrote: >> >> Basically I am bouncing before the spammer gets a chance to >> disconnect their address.
