Now I hope I don't start another fad of bouncing blighters. cheers.......heaton	heaton (3697)

"Bounces" can be returned to the "postmaster" at the ISP, which limits the iterations but still generates a lot of unwanted traffic. People bounce spam mail thinking they will be taken off the list or marked as not active, but spammers never check for any bounced messages.	godfather (25)

Another good idea is to open a web e-mail account such as hotmail and use that when registering anything on the web, they can spam that to their hearts delight Oh, never click on that link that says " remove me from your mailing List" in spam mail, that only confirms a valid email address.	beama (111)
