1. NOBODY EVER ANSWERS QUESTIONS TO THIS LIST---Why?

2. There has been (for at least the last 3 weeks) a recent huge flood of
emails that are setup to "appear" to have originated from the same email
address which the SPAM is being sent to, and the addresses are perfectly
valid addresses stored on our email server (NOT ACCOUNTS, but valid
ALIASES).

For example a valid alias on our mail server would be:
booking at edenaudio.com

The SPAM email is SENT to that email address and is also setup to COME
from that address.

Has there been any discussion or attempts to get rid of this most
annoying new type of SPAM?  I don't see it as very difficult to catch,
as the following conditions are always TRUE in all cases:

a. SAME FROM ADDRESS AS THE TO ADDRESS (this is normally only done when
testing)

b. Almost every email contains "status" in the subject

c. Every email always contains HTML and the words "click here" in every
one (see below)

I believe any one of these items would work to stop this flood of email
(especially b or c).  Can you please let me know how I could implement
any one or all of these methods?

Thank you!
