The following is from spam run through SpamCop.  I saw no test for the "steve77 
@bigfoot.com" address, and it was not among the recipients of the resulting spam 
reports.

I'm wondering if it is a legitimate address used by the spammer to harvest confirmed 
active email addresses.
But s/he has embedded a space in the email address -- perhaps to avoid being detected 
by anti-spam software, and having complaints sent to "bigfoot.com"?  Can / (should?) 
the anti-spam software be modified to check for such addresses?  Or would the overhead 
be excessive?

Spam slice in question:

"If you have received this email by mistake or wish to be removed please send an email 
to  steve77 @bigfoot.com
FOR PROPER REMOVAL YOU MUST TYPE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IN THE SUBJECT LINE!!!!"
