yes, it was spam, a whole lot of foreign char garbage hat
sendmail could not translate into english, thats beside the
point. it was teh mailer-daemon 'wrapper' that it came in that
i was wondering about, do i reply to teh sender of teh 'this is
spam, don't send us spam' mailer-deamon mail, or are you saying
that the whole lot is a manufactured spam article and should
not be responded ?

that being teh case how, or is it possible to tell teh
difference between this kind of spam and the real article, a
mailer-deamon getting a spam article and sending it back to teh
apparent sender for reproof/chastisement and should i respond
to that with a 'it was not me' ??

i'm concerned about ending up on some idiots blacklist because
s/he cannot tell the difference, or is 'trigger happy' as
regards this whole spam situation ???

thanks, Callum, appreciated

kind regards

jonathan
