131557 2003-03-28 09:35:00 >DYK - That even opening spam usually alerts them that your address IS valid and that you'll usually end up getting more?

I use Kmail, i don't give autoreceipts, and i don't let it load images that were not included in the mail. There is no way (that i can see) that looking at my mail can in itself let the sender know that it was opened.

131558 2003-03-28 12:36:00 If you look at the message headers you can sometimes suss out if it is fake or not. If it isn't fake send an Email to abuse@what ever with the subject as Spam : No Loss and request them to remove the offender. I have recently had a lot of success with this method. mikebartnz (21)

131561 2003-03-29 10:10:00 Thanks mikebartnz,

I checked before i left CHCH today...
Yes the "return address" and the "sender address" were the same, so it looks like its a real address.

abuse@(whoever-it-was) will get a quick email when i get back.
