: I've been sending junkmail to postmaster@(wherever it originated) and

I _never_ reply to junkmail.  I bounce it to "junkmail" because I've got
nojunk-10, and I want rahul to see what gets past, but replying merely
reinforces that a good address has been reached, strengthening the value of
the list being used.

Forwarding to postmaster either inundates an innocent victim of forgery, or
validates your address.  Being protected behind rahul's nojunk, I leave it
to the unprotected masses to wage battle back to the providers.


What about the latest one?  How many of you got junk with the subject
"Carded Sale"  I don't know what that means, but the prices and "if you
scroll past here you are certifying that you are not a law enforcement
officer" makes me think it is admittedly stolen.
