Ditto - sometimes I add that if someone wanted to mail objectionable postcards, used your postal return address and chose random address from the phone book the result would be the same. Some people would throw them away (delete), some would complain to you and ask why you would send something like that, the bad addresses would get returned to you by the post office that is simply doing its job.
I have sent out this explanation about 5-6 times, they all still ask me why they are getting the undeliverables.... : ) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Sullivan Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 11:04 AM To: Dan Geiser Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Layman's Explanation of E-Mail Spoofing Hello Dan, Tuesday, May 17, 2005, 10:57:13 AM, you wrote: Don't know of an outside source, but I always explain it like a normal envelope. You can write ANY address you want as the return address and drop it in a public mailbox. If it isn't delivered, it will be returned to the address that was written on the envelope. The post office doesn't care whose address it is. Try that. -- Best regards, David mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
