The wife owns an old website.
www.seewhatdevelops.com (http://www.seewhatdevelops.com)

Someone, again, has borrowed that email name for spamming. What I am getting is the blocked or returned emails to xxx@seewhatdevelops.com in my junk email directory. He uses several different names. I get perhaps around 300 a day so I figure this guy is just pouring the stuff out.
Any way to cut him off? Sooner or later someone is going to send the wife a nasty email complaining about "her" spam.

Auto-Reply from Mark Voorsanger (mark@tjande.com):

I'm updating my email address to avoid getting so much SPAM in my inbox. If you have a ClubScheduler related question, please visit our website at www.ClubScheduler.com (http://www.ClubScheduler.com) for contact information. Otherwise, and only if you're someone I know, you can get ahold of me by replacing "mark" with "mvoorsanger" in my email address. Let's see if that reduces my overburdened inbox.

Best regards,

Mark

PS. To all you spammers out there: I just read that one company in California has been shut down and fined $2,000,000 for their spamming practices, so beware!

What good does it do them if they borrow you email link and it is returned to them? Are they doing it just to pound email servers. It would be different is the return address went somewhere else. How do they pull off there scam if they truley use your wifes email address.

I'm only getting the trash. The stuff bounced back from spam blockers or dead addresses. Guessing there's a link with-in the email for the suckers to respond to.

Picked up close to 300 more. They are mainly automated responses. This one might be a true reply but don't have a clue what he is saying. Sounds unhappy.

Anyone have a thought on what I should do next?

Which email program are you using? In Netscape or Mozilla, you need to go to View >> Headers >> All. Then you hit control-A to select the whole message with headers and copy/paste it into an email. It's similar using Outlook.

Then you do a search for the IP where the message originated, and contact the ISP to report them.

I use MSN 9.1 which lacks those features, or I can't find the buttons. May try re-routing the domain's email over to an AOL account on my other computer.

How do they pull off there scam if they truley use your wifes email address. They don't want an email from you, that's why they fake someone else's address. They want you to click on a link in the email. If you don't they want nothing to do with you.

Kept getting interrupted while trying to read/respond so I’ll try again. Sounds like you have it figured out. They’re probably using her address as the reply to address. Good chance it’s not just one and it’s coming from overseas. Hard to do anything about that. Changing the email address is the first step. When you get a returned email it should have the original message and header in the message or it should be included in an attachment. Depends on the email server that bounced it, not your email system. If you find that it’s all coming from one place go to www.dnsstuff.com. (http://www.dnsstuff.com.) You can find out who owns the ip address.
Also on your web page can you modify it so it doesn’t show the actual email address just a link? Won’t stop them but you can change the address underneath on a random basis and slow them down.
I hate spammers, they’re scum!
