Why do I receive the answer that the address can not be reached when I reply to sender when I answer spam?

Question

When I reply to spam on my email asking them toto delete my name from their list, I receive the answer that they can not be reached. Can you tell my why when I put the reply to sender how it could be the wrong numner

Answer 1

Don`t Answer Spam

Answer 2

Most times, the email addresses where spam is apparently sent from is fake, or the mail provider terminates their account as soon as a few receipients complain.



You should never however try to answer spam messages, because sometimes they use this to check which of the addresses are real people, so most likely after replying you may get even more spam.



You really should either use a better spam filter or just keep deleting them. The spam which you can get off by replying to take off their list, would usually be very professional and state clearly what to do to be removed, mind you for it to really be legitimate, it must also have a valid mailing address, otherwise its some sort of trick to get you to reply.



Good luck

Answer 3

Because most spam bots are set up at out-only and won't accept replies... that's just how it is... if there's no link at the bottom of the e-mail to reply to to take your name off the list, there's nothing you can do but deal and trash the junk mail...



Sorry... Junk mail sucks... all you can do is find an e-mail service with a good spam filter

Answer 4

The service providers that are on top of things shut them down really fast, so that's why they keep changing the e-mail addresses, or use fake ones to begin with. They don't want anyone to be able to trace them.

Answer 5

Well they dont mind pissing u off with their crap but u can't reach them to complain or get ur name removed. Good innit?

Answer 6

it is probaly a ghost address, that has been bounced
