Spammer used legitimate email address as return (spoofed)

[Stephen Ingham]

The same thing has happened to me. I love to find out if you have any
success in this.

Subject: Spammer used legitimate email address as return (spoofed)

An acquaintance sent me an email asking to have her email address
changed.
It seems that a spammer used her email address as a return address (I
guess
that's sometimes called spoofing) and of course she's getting deluged
with
angry responses from the spammer's activities. I pointed her to some of
the
anti-spam organization's web sites and told her that it is possible to
track
down the people who are trying to benefit from the spammer's advertising
and
then sue them but of course this is pretty difficult for any individual.
Has
anyone here run into this and if so what did they do about it?
