A reader, Helen Mulgray, has recommended a program called eMailTrackerPro, which makes it simple to find the source of spam and other unwanted emails and report them. I hadn't heard of it so I went to the site, where I found an online demo:
http://emailtrackerpro.visualware.com/
All you have to do is paste in the email headers and it tells you all about the real source and the forged address -- though I can't see a button that would generate an abuse report. I reckon most of us have, at some point, struggled to decipher email headers, and I've not seen anything else that makes it quite so easy.
I had planned to mention the reader and the program in tomorrow's Backchat but did not have the space.
