There is no way to bounce them back: the spammers use invalid return
addresses 95% of the time so bounces go to innocent third parties.  That
used to work, but now it almost never does.

Web searching for Mac software is a bad idea because the PC pages swamp
the Mac pages. There are mac pages out there, but you have to know where
to look.  Try www.macsearch.com.

Automatic spam killing software is available from Goo Software,
http://www.goosoftware.com/
It is called "Spam Blaster"
