The reason being is that the spammer is spoofing a removal address, as do most of them. The best advice I can give anyone is to never respond to an unsolicited email. If you do not wish to go to the trouble to report it to, say, spamcop, then just delete it. Responses to unsolicited email only confirms your email address is good, and will subject you to an even heavier spew of the junk mail. ====================================== We can get rid of spam on your domain! , Anti-spam solutions http://www.clickdoug.com/mailfilter.cfm For hosting solutions http://www.clickdoug.com ====================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "joe" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 10:31 PM Subject: Spam handling : : Ok so I send an email to a friend at SBC.
