  Everyday I receive tons of SPAM ad, but most of the time spammer will hide their real email address.
  
  My question is how the SPAMMER using email add which doesn't exist but still can send us SPAM?
  
  exp: I received a SPAM mail from this add: [email protected]
  of course no such domain, but how he do that?
  
  It's there any way I can trace their real email add?

  If you try hard enough, it's possible to find such things on the Net.

  There are ways to trace, but you are going to run into walls because you don't have the rights to. At the very least, read the email headers. It's by far the best you can find out.

  Ignore the phishing parts.
  
  Once you set to see headers, you will see this:
  
  X-Apparently-To: [email protected] via IP Address; Thu, 21 Jun 2007 20:28:05 -0700
  X-Originating-IP: [IP Address]
  Return-Path:
  Authentication-Results: mta469.mail.mud.yahoo.com from=yahoo.com; domainkeys=pass (ok) optional. Not all email headers will show this. Yahoo! mail shows this, so you can verify if that person's ID is real.

  Google the IP address. You will be able to find his ISP. If you receive lots of spams from the same IP address, the ISP will inform him.

  ok, now I'm checking his IP.
  
  Everyday I received more than 200+ SPAM mail.... damn angry
  
  If I want to sue him, can I report to SG police, if the SPAMMER is from oversea, do there care?
  
  Should I go down to police station make a report?

  If he's from SG, you can complain to his ISP. If it's really very bad, the police may be called up, but that is done by the ISP. You may or may not be informed by the ISP that a police report has been made.
  
  If it is overseas, there's nothing they can do. You can just pray that the ISP tells him he's spamming and email you that they have inform him.
  
  Also, if you can't stand the spam, get another email address and keep it private. Give out only to trusted people.
