than you see by just reading the message (I use elm/unix).

===============================
Suppose I want to write an autoresponder for spam. I rely to the
message and put some keyword in the reply subject that procmail
looks for. It goes to the admin of his ISP and complains about
unsolicited email and asks for this user to be warned or dropped.
0) did he give a fake FROM with "From: left(_at_)right(_dot_)com" ?
1) is GARY.closeoutbuyers.com his real email name
as in EmailName <email(_at_)email(_dot_)com> ?
2) is his email domain port116039.terraworld.net ?
where's the something@ that goes before?
is it 454(_dot_)358049(_dot_)311794(_at_)GARY(_dot_)closeoutbuyers(_dot_)com ?
3) could I send email to the admin/owner of IP address
206.53.116.39 (is the alias port116039.terraworld.net) ?
I would send any bounced mail to /dev/null. Would this treatment
get my own ISP in trouble?
