Hi Helen,

Bouncing SPAM with these programmes may make you feel good, but as the
SPAMmers invariably spoof their "from" addresses, I doubt it does any good
whatsoever. So if the SPAMmers pretend to be sending from, say,
<> then I presume ozemail receives and has to deal with
all the messages we generate trying to bounce the SPAMmers, and the
SPAMmers don't even know we're bouncing their messages.

I've been bouncing SPAM for yonks, but it doesn't seem to make any of them
take my addy off their lists. :-(

Regards
Pam
