just fyi . i often hear people say this like its them that being targetted . so ill explain a bit about "basic mass emailing"
there are several methods so i'll explain the simplest
this is spammers list
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
so he wants to send an email to all 3 .. if he puts his real retun address of course people will find him and tell him to fuck off , if he puts a fake email in there it has a chance of hitting a spam blovker because the domain might not exist. if he uses the same return address for every email he is also prone to getting caught by filters.. so the easiest way is to simple send the first email from the next guy your going to email..
so
[email protected] gets an email with a fake return of
[email protected] , if
[email protected] doesnt exist
[email protected] gets the bounced email
p.s. this is in no way implying you dont understand this , but just thought i would point it out for the newbs..
p.s.s. i dont know much about email but not sure why a server would even accept a bounce when it hadn't sent the email.. stupid email. thats why i hate email.
