[X-Newbies] Dealing with Spam

Is there such a thing as software or a script that can return suspicious
e-mails to their point of origin that would make them look like they were
undelivered? I get the impression that much Spam is sent on spec and that
both opening or deleting them merely confirms an address to be valid.

(Personally I think it is the Spammers themselves who need to be deleted.)

Some of these people are very evil. I had one recently that tried to get my
credit card details. The return address appeared to be accounting at PayPal.com
but PayPal claimed it was a 'spoof'. Definitely people that I don't want to
have my address.

Are there other ways of making my Mac and my addresses more invisible?
