An email from a customer

Subject: You are creating email SPAM


I sent one email to myself from my
imaretard@thisisp.net account a couple
of days ago and now I am getting a
lot of SPAM on that account. I have
not had a problem with this account
recently.

What is going on?

I personally can't think of a response more helpful than "LOL"

I get a lot of complaints about spam here. "Why do i get these, I never gave my address to these people!"

And I open up their mailbox, and I see hundreds of chain letters back and forth, and them signing up for joke of the day things, and crap like that.

I get complaints that mail flagged as spam (subject gets rewritten: **SPAM** Old Subject, isn't good enough for them. They want it gone completely. I balance that complaint vs. the complaints I'd get if i just bit-bucketed their "spam"

"But Aunt Milly sent me these pictures and a 30 page of forwarded chain mail, and I never got them!"

That's why the only people in the last ...as far back as I can remember...that I've given my email address to is Logitech.

They had a thing where you can win a free badass keyboard. Granted, in retrospect, so does everyone else, but it's LOGITECH I MEAN CMON.

This guy, I think, has nothing better to do than forward SPAM to the abuse team, and he always puts SPAM in capital letters. The way he's going, I'd think he'd be happy for the correspondence.
