    spammed

    I have been receiving spam at an email address which has only ever been posted on this forum.
    Today I received the email below, the sender name is obviously bogus - is this considered fraud? Is it legal for this company to harvest email addresses and send spam?

    Click on "add address (or whole domain) to blacklist" - problem solved and email bounced back.
    I have learned from much angst and trials that you can't stop it so just dump it at source is my advice, irritating though it is.

    They define a bogus address or just a random address for bounced emails. So you may actually just forwarding spam to someoneelse.

    Rather a general statement which is by no means the case in the majority of instances. However if someone was concerned about that the email can just be deleted without even reading or seeing it - another good feature with Mailwasher Pro is the ability to report to a spam database helping to eliminate some spam.
