Hi,

This isn’t original, there is something already out there called spamitback (www.spamitback.com) They’ve already been doing it for a long time now.

There are 4 ways to ease or eliminate the false bounce problem
1. Some ISP’s (not all) enclose the “original” bounced message and its header.
2. Your ISP may have mail filters and depending upon the e-mail address format you may be able to intercept and delete them. This worked for me.
3. Tighten up your valid domain e-mail accounts and drop mail to the others.
4. IF they look american (even if they use Chinese servers) report them to UCE.
AND remember never bounce spam you receive. It is either un-read, confirms you exist or goes to an innocent third-party like you.

Good question. I receive a lot of the same and would like to bring this to a stop myself.

I have received thousands of “could not deliver” messages because of impersonatation of my domain name for spamming. Is there a way to forward these messages to someone who can verify the spamming activity and help to bring this to a stop?
