My first rant

[IronWing]

I have a website and I've had it for a few years therefore I get spam, usually a couple hundred emails a day. Yesterday a spammer started using my email address as the spoofed return address on their spam. This causes emails to bad addresses to bounce to my mailbox. This has happened before but it was no big deal as the extra emails were lost in the general flow. Now I'm getting about 300 emails per hour and there is not a dang thing I can do about it.

Okay, maybe 1/10 as a rant but it sure is annoying.

At least it's an easily filtered issue. Unless you don't want to miss a legitimate bounce message for something you sent out.

Don't forget you can sue them if they're based in the US (and maybe other countries) and get like 500 bucks per email.

If oyu don't mind spending some money, www.SpamStopsHere.com offers much better filtering than rule-based and blacklist filters. We use it at work and are happy with it.
