Hi,
This was a thought I had while deleteing spam mail and was wondering if
it could be done via a Mutt macro or otherwise. Couldnt really see anything
on mutt.org for dealing with spam.
Ok .. so rather than just deleting a spam mail, I was thinking to generate
a authentic mailer daemon failure message and then send that back to the
sender. So, although I have received the message, Im sending a failure
message back which says my address is undeliverable / unknown etc.
Kind of like having a forged mail message from postmaster/mailser daemon
already setup which inserts the relevant spam email and sends it back
as a failure etc.
Sure it wont work for some cases of spam where the reply-to address isnt set
or set wrong, but for the cases that it does work it may get your email
address removed from a spam mailing list.
After you run the macro .. or from the macro itself, it would then delete
the spam message once the failure message has been sent to the spammer.
Anyone have any ideas on the above, or any ideas in general about controlling
spam?
Regards,
