Sorry I didn't speak up sooner about this. Whatever we do, don't reply
to what appears to be the sending address. That tells the spammers
there's a live address to send to, and they can sell the address to other
spammers. Five days later, instead of genealogical traces, it's child
pornography from the Philippines. I sent that one to the abuse and
postmaster accounts at jetlink.com.ph and the relay site in Sweden (where
there turns out to be no abuse account), but *not* to the originator.
