This can turn out to be more trouble and time than it is worth, but you are welcome to try.

Remember that spammers, scum, virus-senders, scammers and the usual gang of assholes and n'er-do-wells have their own shady network that is difficult (if not impossible) to track down.

I've given up on anything that gets auto-routed to my spam bucket whereas before I'd check for false positives. These f*ckers are ruining email the way they did usenet.

It is the tragedy of the commons.

The links below are somewhat philosophical, but worth a reading:
