actually,
most spammers don't put their real email address in there because they relayed
it through a mail server that is an open relay and they don't want people to
respond directly to them. at the ISP I work at, we spend a lot of time tracking
down spammers. they connect to an mail server that should not relay mail for
them but it does anyway. they identify themselves as someone that they are not
and they send mass email. they don't want responses. they just want you to
click on whatever is in their ad or go to their website...
also, even though they say you will be taken off their list if you respond, you
won't most of them do that so they can get hold of a real email address...
