[LMB] OT: AKICOTL Dealing with spam

[Mark Allums]

Hi guys.  Since I created an email account to go with my [vanity] domain 
name, I have been spam-free.  However, the enterprising spammers have 
harvested my address from the WHOIS record of allums.com, and now a 
little unwanted mail is beginning to trickle in.

I am registered with GoDaddy, both for my domain name and email service, 
and they are a bit overzealous when it comes to rejecting mail that 
might be spam.  However, they have provision for a whitelist and a 
blacklist.  I was getting some list mail bounced until I added 
lists.herald.co.uk to the whitelist.

I want to make use of the user blacklist, but being a dilettante, I am 
not very familiar with how email addressing works.  I would add spammers 
From: addresses to the blacklist, but I know that those aren't the real 
addresses.  Those addresses are spoofed, and probably belong to some 
poor, unsuspecting slob not unlike myself.

As far as I can tell, GoDaddy doesn't have a way for a user to mark an 
email as spam unless the user is using the web-based client.  I don't 
want to use that, I prefer using POP mail and Thunderbird.

How do I identify the real sender of a spam message, and add them to the 
blacklist?
