If by "report on" you mean send emails back toward the forged source addresses, well, don't do that. Bouncing can only be done during the original SMTP transaction. Any fake "bounce" after that is a new message that is itself spam. I get almost as many of those as real spam, and I'm thinking of doing something about it: blacklisting every source of them. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
