With my simple system, I know the offender immediately due to the email=20
address they sent it to in the the header.  But with everyone using one e=
mail=20
address to me, I'll have to trace thru the headers, and there's no guaran=
tee=20
I would find the offender.  And to me, the offender is not so much the pe=
rson=20
that sends the email, but the company that violated their privacy policy =
by=20
selling my contact info.

My hosting provider does also provide some level of SPAM detection, and w=
ill=20
prefix the subject with "SPAM:".  I send those to a separate folder and w=
ill=20
check thru it as well for false positives, which I do find occassionally.=
 =20
Their virus detection is also great btw, and they'll send me a virus=20
notification before still sending the email.

Cheers,
-Neil.
