What he is trying to do is send a fake "Bounce" message. I have thought about this, however, for this to work, it must be from a Mail Server and not a Client. The other issue is that most of SPAM has bogus return information in it anyway. You would also have to get your ISP or email provider to relay mail to you. The theory is that if the SPAMMER gets a Undeliverable message back, they will remove your email address from their list thinking it's a BAD email address. I think it would work for some of the SPAMMERS, but not all. I would love to try it though. -- Brien King Arcade Game Collector [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arcade Restoration Workshop @ http://www.arcaderestoration.com ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
