Re: IF YOU GET THIS MAIL REPLY NOW

It's true, spammers who ask you to reply "to be removed from the mailing
list" just need some reassurance that there's a live person behind the
e-mail address.

My personal advice is as follows:

1. Make your mail reader display all headers.  Note the host that send
this junk in the X-Authorized-Sender field or (possibly) some other field.

2. If e-mail was sent from a reputable ISP (e.g. aol.com), forward the
junk e-mail to abuse@<whatever> and postmaster@<whatever>

3. If e-mail was sent from an unknown place (possibly setup with an
explicit purpose of spamming), look at the header carefully again until
you find a reputable host.  This would be the service that connect nasty
spammer to the internet.  Forward the message to "the reputable host"'s
abuse or postmaster.
