Re the obnoxious Tempting Tearouts spam

I am generally inclined towards Kurt's response to spam (returning it 
with a complaint to the user's postmaster and/or root).  However, an 
important caveat:  it is possible to spoof the return address.  You would 
not want to be sucked into mail bombing an innocent party, would you?  As 
Kurt points out, one needs to look at the complete set of message 
headers (save the message as a file), but even those could be doubtful.
