Hi, I zealously bounce listspam to [email protected]. Recently, the listmaster notified me that he was getting the impression from the bounced spam that *I* was the spammer. We discussed the problem, and it turns out that the issue is that Gmail's SMTP server rewrites message-from headers, so a spam message with this message-from:
From: "Evil Spammer" <[email protected]> will end up in the spam mailbox looking like this: From: "Evil Spammer <[email protected]> [Some free smarthosts simply refuse to accept mail unless the message-from is set to the user's account name, but Gmail accepts it and rewrites it.] The listmaster told me not to bounce mail under such circumstances.
