ok a bit of advice.

now I have a spam program, which work great, but its a real pain having to sort through, wots real and wots not so a few questions

1> when somone sends me a mail, does the spammer know I've got it ? - as long as I dont reply, in other words is there some kinda of mechanism, where as if the spammer does not get a failed message he knows its a worker ?

2> can I simulate a "failed mailer deamon" reply, so the spammer thinks the address he's reached is dead ?
i.e can I send a reply, back to the spammer, like "invalid address" etc, or will the fact he's had a reply proove this is a worker

cheers

Jay

If spammers are using false, hidden, layered or otherwise untraceable email addresses then how do they make money if someone responds?

The law now requires spammers to include a message offering to remove people from their mailing lists. Has that done any good? If I send a message and continue to receive spam from that email can I report it to ... whom? Can I collect a reward?
