Most have html links included, those that have _no_ other point of contact than the from address are a probable exception to the faked headers problem. Going to a web site simply adds an extra step. A step that renders it possible to extract money from you without having provided an accurate return address. Thus answering your earlier question, and also providing indirect evidence towards the implied question "Is it a stupid idea to send spam back to those spamming you?" And faked headers are illegal under our state law - most spammers appear to be aware of that. Given that most spam I get comes from South Korea is that really such an important point? Even 'legitimate' appearing spam is often faked or via 3rd parties so that spamming them won't affect the people responsible for the decision to spam you in the first place. (e.g. The 'BT Offers' spam that arrived a few seconds ago is actually via the 'clic2mail service' no email addresses or http links actually got to BT. Maybe it's legit, maybe it's not, but I don't feel like clicking to find out either way.) |
