| You say that you bounced the email immediately under the spam attach, but were they all sent with real return addresses? I have received quite a bit of spam that came from someone sending me an "undeliverable message" bounce when I never sent the message in the first place. Some spammer(s) had put my address in the respond to and then bounced the message off of some unsuspecting third party. How do you deal with this as the potential bouncer? | ||

the same address, which was invalid. As a result, I received a lot of "double bounces".
Sneaking a tiny blurb in a bounce message is
possible, but most MTA's mangle them so much
that most technical people I know can't interpret them :-)
Thanks for brining up that point though, it is interesting to consider.
