Quite annoying. This has been > going on for ages now. Not much I can do about it. I'd like to see the actual spam. For example, I just got an ordinary spam... with a phone number in Utah to call. I'm seriously considering doing something I've been thinking of for a while: finding out who the number belongs to, and suing *them* under the CAN-SPAM act. I mean, the spammers are being paid to send out that crap, and I bet a *lot* of it is for people in the US scamming for $$$. I could hope that the spam being sent under the bounced notices is the same. mark
