Yeah, yeah, JunkSpy is still very much on my To Do List. Real soon
now, I hope. In the meantime, I marvel at the inventiveness of the
blighted, bleeping so-an-so's who propagate this crud. Earthlink used
to be a lot more resistant to this stuff than Pac Bell, with its open
door policy, but a fair amount is getting through over there now as
well. The other day, I received one that purportedly came from me !
That's a first, in my experience. Some of the disclaimer from the
bottom of it is copied in below.

I'd just like to know, how'd they do that ? Randall -- if you're
monitoring this -- inquiring minds want to know !

P.S.: if there is any way to make spam bounce back to the sender,
marked undeliverable, that would be a great feature to add.
