Re: Spam handling

["Doug White" <doug () clickdoug com>]

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.
