Bleah. A new wave! This time, something to do with unbeatable interest rates. Kiss that account goodbye

over 400 in the "bouncy department now" - surprisingly, 0 responses/complaints. I wonder how many sales I'm getting them?

I think that's how he did this:

it not very hard to do at all...all it takes is a hotmail account and outlook or outlook express...when you setup your outlook for that hotmail account, do all the normal things. then you can later go in and change the "from" and the "reply-to" ...some people will never know

LOL - succinct but aptly put. My host were the first people I warned. All they can really do for me is give me a new email address. Heck, I've had the address forever - longer than my phone number! I'm attached to it! Everywhere I've ever registered and forgotten my password relies on this email account for my access

On the other hand, over 200 bounced emails have rolled in so far - I can't tolerate that for long.

this happened to me a while back with a hotmail account, had 800 bounce backs. Hotmail staff reckon nothing could be done apart from tracking down the advertising firm that got the job from the company to "advertise" and make sure the person wasn't paid their commison.

You just have to hope none of the emails are reported to spamcop or similar as your host can become blacklisted and added to block lists.
