Spam response

[Mark Walker]

Rebecca mentioned the "Reply with the subject Remove" approach to eliminating
SPAM.

My guess is that this is just a way of determining who is actually out there
(recall that the SPAM list, like any bulk mailing list, consists of many
invalid addresses).  By your replying, you may simply be providing the
marketing info the senders are really after - the percentage of warm bodies
their list represents.  Also, you provide statistics regarding the number of
addressee's that actually read the entire SPAM message.

Not to alarm you, since I'm only guessing here.  It's definitely a possibility,
though.
