Hi, thanks for responding. I followed your link and had a look at a number of message headers in some of the spam emails. I wasn't able to understand much of the information given but one common feature that I could identify on the headers I opened was an IP address. This address and some other information in the headers suggests to me that much of the spam I'm now getting is coming through Talk Talk/Opal Telecom sources.
I assume these spam emails are in themselves not malware and ignoring them and letting Gmail deal with them is okay. The devil in me wants to send them back to their source and cause as much annoyance to the originator as they cause to me. I'd value your opinion as to how to deal with the spam. I've always had spam emails but this is a recent spate that have started coming in and its the volume and nature that is getting my goat. Can they be bounced back to their originator, can the provider of the internet connection of the originator be identified and made aware/liable or should I just take a deep breath and ignore? I know my rant sounds silly but sometimes we all need a bit direction and this site is my choice for that! :smile9:
Thanks, wavly
