    can spammers use any email addy..?

    i got this 'mail returned blabla' on one of my email addys... sometimes these things are creative spam emails, but this one actually looks like it was sent by a spammer using my email address, and that i received a mail returned email (email addy he tried to send to didnt exist).. is this possible?

              Shit happening to my sites all the time. I have lots of jealous people, haha.

              But other than filling my Gmail with 100,000s of emails, it's not doing anything.

                  happened to me once too, but only to the email adress I use on GFY

                  I guess someone must have been jealous of my postcount...

                        just disable the 'catch-all' and use only certain aliases.
                        you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                Yes, they can. It's just a matter of putting your email address into the "from" form in their mailer program. Most proxy spammers don't use really addresses, some make them up randomly, some harvest addys from places like GFY.
