Do you really think he is going to get it?? They do not use an address
that is easily traced and is not set to receive mail.If you don't believe
me, try sending to their address.

True. The only thing that "bounced" mail is good for it to make
someone you know and someone that knows you, think that you have
a new address that they do not have. Even then, it is better just to set
a filter rule to delete all mail from this address.

I realize, that people will not listen to advice, or they would have a good
virus checker on their systems and update every day, then their would
be no virus coming to you. There would be no spam either, if people
would not buy from spam mail. If it is not profitable, then they would
not waste money sending you the spam.
