Hi Jim, Please whatever you do - don't bounce them. Drop them on the floor, put them in a folder you never look at, but don't bounce them. All (and I do mean all) spam these days fakes the from address, so all you do by bouncing spam is annoy the heck out of someone who didn't send it to you

Hi Jim, Yep, I guess there are really still /some/ spam that use real reply-to addresses, but not a lot. Just because they don't bounce back to you, doesn't mean they aren't faked. :). In point of fact, many of the ones that don't bounce back to you, are probably going to real inboxes. It's just
