Spam Replies-undeliverable?!?

Post by Bruce Wutzke »

I often get spam email with the wonderful
option of being taken off the list by
merely replying with "remove" in the subject line. I think they all come back as undeliverable. This happen to you?

All the time. They do it on purpose too. It's very easy to set your email to have a different reply address, and they of course put a bogus address either there or in the link to remove.

Ok guys thanks! Your right, deleting is easier than US Mail. A shredder is just
about a household necessity anymore. You
never know what is encoded in the crap
they send AND I love the blank checks
that can be easily made out to a new credit
card company. I think I get no less than
5 credit card apps every week and a lot of them with blank checks!
