A very large amount of the spam I receive comes from "Bounce Messages" which
have been sent out by other domains in response to having received spam which
was apparently sent by from my spoofed address. None of these bounced emails
is ever sent to my correct, full, email address, though, yet still I cannot
block them.
It happens when a spammer sends spam to some target by spoofing my
"mailpilot.co.za" domain (don't know where he got it, but he did). However,
his spam program generates a random name and attaches it to my domain.
So the unfortunate target gets a spam from, say, (e-mail address removed)
and then bounces the spam back to - me.
The Outlook spam filter won't block the incoming, bounced spam because it
accepts everything addressed to *[email protected] and will not allow me to
add "(e-mail address removed)" to my safe recipient's list.
I can understand why Microsoft believes it to be counter-productive to put
one's own address into the Safe Recipients' list. It would help considerably,
though, if I could specify my real address as being safe, but rely on the
Microsoft Junk Mail program to spot when the message actually displayed all
the other signs of a spam (text, headers, links etc etc) and to put it into
the junk folder.
