[Spooks] Random Acts of Spamness

Hopefully "bounce back"(sry, re: previous guy) didn't mean sending some
sort of reply back, that may well be the purpose of those ones, to probe
for live email addresses.

If they aren't carrying poisonous attachments, I usually just assume
that 
they're most likely the result of somebody who hasn't read the
instructions 
for their spamming software yet.  I've had a few spammers where I could 
actually watch as they got more proficient at using their software until

one day they suddenly cease operation.  I don't know what happened to
them, 
but it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside when they went away.
