Not only that, the spammers use the "remove" lists to send more spam,
since they know they're valid email address! You can filter 'em out,
switch email addresses, or join the spam-fighters hanging out at
<news:news.admin.net-abuse.email> and <news:news.admin.net-abuse.usenet>.
There should be some spam-fighting FAQ lists floating around too.

It doesn't work that way. The only way to never, ever get spam again
is to cancel all your email accounts. Even if you were to create a
new account and not forward email from the old accounts to the new
one, and never post to Usenet, put your email address on a web page,
or participate in a mailing list which gets posted on the web again,
you still have a tiny chance of getting spam.
The best thing is to support the passing of HR1748. In the meantime,
set up a filter for your email.

This doesn't directly answer your question, but it helps.
1) Read the headers to find out what site the spam came from. The
Received headers that is.
There must be a direct chain. Any breaks in the chain indicate fraudulent
headers.
e.g. (pseudo-header)
Received from c.com by d.com
Received from b.com by c.com
Received from a.com by b.com
Received from spammersite.com by spammersite.com
Thus a.com is the sending site, despite the spammersite header..
This actually gets to be REALLY easy. Don't always believe the *names*
given in the header too. There will be an IP number (X.Y.Z.W) in the headers,
that is right.
2) Do a "whois" on the site that spammed (a.com above.. If the name looks
phony, nslookup on the IP number in the last valid Received header).
3) Mail the addresses listed in the whois entry, plus abuse, root, admin,
postmaster at the spamming site. Use your mailer's address book to fill
in common spamming sites (uu.net, earthlink, etc.)
4) Do the same thing for any web sites mentioned in the email, and mail all
of those too.
You will get a large number of people's accounts cancelled via this, and can
feel slightly good that you're helping to cut down on spammers.

Whenever you get spam add this to your .signature file.
So each time you send a mail all the address of the spam senders will be
there.
You know what happens ?
Spam fuckers will be fucking each other like bunch of rats in a cage !!!

People get sick of getting mail from you because of a huge, pointless,
and useless .signature?
