No they only know that _his/her_ email address is real. Though actually replying to most spammers is fairly futile. Either you give them info about an actual addy or you just get a bounced message cause they spoof their address. I think I see why some ISP's just block off all emails from certain countries now. It's sad that a country that is advancing like china is taking it's first real steps on the internet so poorly.
