write an email filter alghoritm which recieves emails from any email servers (like pop3 servers) then checks every incoming email content and finds words like "link is:" "click here" then if there were these words in email content, for the word: "link is:" sends this text to the sender of email:"don't spam me" and if it finds the word of: "click here" it sends this text to the sender of email:"Hi"

You definitely need to give more details here if you want an answer

Isn't the problem with this, that most of these email reply to addresses are fake?

What is the intent of the script? Is this part of some kind of challenge-response system?

Oh no... If your anti spam software (whatever filter it uses) detected a "sure spam" email, the best action would be dropping the message silently. Generating "you are bad" response messages when receiving spam may help you feel better but will probably hurt your mail server, as it will be awarded a free blacklist inclusion eventually.
Take care...

As well as plainly confirming to the spammer that the email address is correct and active.

Yes, what is the purpose you are trying to achieve exactly?
It sounds like you are proposing a server-heavy solution, instead of like checking blacklists and dropping connections.
Either that, or this user is just posting to get his/her post-count up. It is at a total of 1.

Sounds like the OP would want to use Bayesian spam filtering, but then the rest of the post makes no sense? :crazy:

I think this could be the case.
Or they took a freelance job and don't understand the task now :)

Ya, that's what i mean. Feels like just a random post for advertising purposes.
I base this only on the username and the fact the original poster hasn't responded yet... :)
Of course, maybe there was a legit reason for both the post and the non-responsiveness...

A quick Google search shows the OP cross-posting on several other boards and getting similar answers. It seems no-one will do his homework for him. :rolleyes:

Heh, go figure.
Btw, what does the OP acronym mean? I tried looking it up, but there are a lot of definitions for that.
