Bad idea, if the envelope sender address is being forged...you're more likely to hurt innocents... In general automatically forwarding something you think is spam to somewhere else or trying to bounce it back is a bad idea because theres usually collateral damage. > > Any ideas on the best way to get this guy to quit spamming me? Umm, You're kidding right ? A way to stop spammers spamming ? Hmm, now that could come in handy...pity its not practical ;) Seriously though, the ones you forwarded got 12.50 points in SpamAssassin 2.55 for me, so they're easily caught by SpamAssassin, so wheres the problem ? I don't see whats special about those particular spams over and above the millions of others that are circulating around....
