Yes you do. Most spammers will bounce return mail, or the return mail address is invalid - so it will end up in the administratrs perpetually overflowing mailbox in far too many instances where genuine spam is concerned The other problem with this methd is that my own spam filters would probably classify such unsolicited mails from spam arrest as SPAM itself, though I never might see that message either, and we can't communicate any more via email (deadlocked) The only solution to spam is legislation with a bite. It was recently on slashdot that against common assumtions and rumors (that spam originates mostly in Asian and Eastern European countries) that the absolute majority of spam still originates in the USA, and nearly ALL spam that tries to deliberately circumvent anti-spam measures comes from the USA too. So legislating a sigle country woudl effectively get rid of the majority of spam in this world.
