Spammers have used my address on their spam quite a few times, and it really doesn't result in you getting very much at all (the bounces generally go to the envelope sender, not the From address). Spammers don't usually see their own bounces, either, so any bounce you send them is probably either pointless, or going to postmaster@somewhere after a double-bounce (less than pointless). (By the way, could you break up your paragraphs into lines, please? That one-long-line thing makes formatting replies a pain.) -Jeremy ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
