I already do all of the above, but instead of myself having to view it,
I'd rather have the other end sending the spam get hit by bounce
messages (it would be better if their results showed this as an invalid
email address from their domain). Last night about 2 am I went to sleep
after checking email. This morning I woke up and had 173 new emails. I
have a strong dislike for wasting time on spammers. And most of them are
outright frauds with forged headers, invalid removal links, and
stupid/false statements like "you requested this".
