If you filter to a junk folder on email addresses with a numeral in you get
most of them. I do this rather than sending direct to the delete folder as
there is an occasional real email that fits this category. Then an
occasional  quick glance at the headings is enough before you bulk delete
them.

If ant are really objectionable I look at the headered version to see if
there is a reputable ISP mentioned anywhere in the forwarding path. Most of
these don't REAL:Y come from such sources but they are keen to protect their
good names and have the resource and time to track such people down. Let
them know there is someone using their name and the Spammer is liable to
have a much harder time than if you go after them by yourself.
