As Mike Richter would write in part:
Spammers forge the email addresses into the "From" addresses of their spam
all the time.  There is no known method of making them stop. Fortunately, it
is very likely to stop on its own in a short time (typically, a few days
unless you have gotten the spammer angry at you).

Even more fortunately, no responsible individual or ISP will blame you
for the spew. You may get some irate e-mails from those who are truly
clueless, but your IP address won't show up on a blocklist for such a
forgery.

You are not supposed to report bounces or the content of bounces with
the SpamCop Reporting Service, but you can use its parsing portion to help
you compose your own reports.


Also, please stop top posting and using profanity in this public forum, as
both are considered bad netiquette.
