I don't think so.

The goal is to filter the spam well enough that it never gets to your box.

However consider that almost all of the return addresses are "fake",...so it
isn't going back to the spammer anyway. Most of the time it doesn't go anywhere
and just "bounces". So that old worry of letting the spammer know you are
"alive" is not really relevant anymore,...that dates back to when spammers used
their real return addresses that you could actually reply to.

I am using Outlook 2003 SP2 for inter office mail as well as outside contacts
with trusted clients. When I post an "out of office" auto response is there
anyway to prevent that from sending spammers and phishers my contact info
(MAC, IP, e-mail addresses) so that they now have a valid target and info to
spread to others like them?
