14 Backscatter Spam Tips from Fred:
For those of you who won't read the article above, I share this:
Since I first reported on the spam slam, I've received over
100 emails from other users having the same problem.
So far, it cannot easily be reported to SpamCop or the
other automated spam reporting systems.
So, if you're one of the unfortunate email users to be hit
by 'backscatter spam' (See article #2 above) here is an
easy way to deal with it immediately:
1) Create a folder: in your email program, set up a
new folder called "bounces"
2) Filter "Subject": set up a filter which parses the
"Subject" line for the following:
* undeliverable
* deliver
* failed
* undelivered
* failure
* blocked
3) Filter "Sender": set up a filter which parses the
"Sent By" field. (Some filters will allow multiple criteria.
If yours does, you can add this to the "Subject" filter too.)
* postmaster
* MAILER-DAEMON
* localhost
Set the filter to move these emails into your newly created
"bounces" folder. From there you can search for the "good"
bounces, if there are any. Usually, you'll remember people you
emailed to in the past 24 hours or so, and you can visually
check those out in the Bounces folder listing. Once you're
satisfied no good mail has been filtered, you can simply
delete all the spams.
For a very small measure of pleasure, Mac users can just select all,
and click the "bounce" button to bounce the mail back to the senders.
But I didn't advocate that.
Isn't it a true travesty that good people have to put up with
this garbage from the bad people in the world.
Too bad IPv6 is not fully implemented.
