If spamming, at least spam with a reason.
How stupid is this:

That's all. They're probably just checking somehow if the e-mail account is active.

Not to question you, but how would they check if the account was legit that way? Was there an auto-respond or an image included with it?

The fact that it was delivered, and wasn't bounced back that the address didn't exist.

Robert, I think there is an easy way to check that by inserting invisible script into messages that send the spammer a receipt when the email is viewed.
Best,

There are read notify programs which send back a confirmation even if you just open the email message. The recepient will never know the confirmation is sent back but the sender will know the message has been opened.

But will this work if you are just downloading headers in a program like Mailwasher? I don't believe so.
