I used to use Mailwasher which gave the option to bounce mail. I see that Win 7 gives this option, but I can't figure out how to use it. Actions/junk email/safety options/blocked senders. At the bottom it gives the option to 'bounce' the instructions being 'when I click delete and block' Where does one do that??? I can block and I can delete, but both at once?? -- https://www.shop.helpforheroes.org.uk/k

And if the spammer is using some poor soul's e-mail address, like the
OP's, then continuous messages going there.

I'm opposed to bouncing because I think it just clogs up the mail servers. Half these bozos will be using invalid e-mail addresses so it suits no purpose.

Forgive my ignorance, but what email are you trying to bounce? Spam? I don't understand the point of that, since it almost certainly comes from a forged source or a forged address. -- Enkidu

It depends . . . if you have a reason to bounce spam, but bouncing spam does not forward your goal while it does tie up resources, what's the point? And bouncing spam causes a cascade of bouncing bounce messages. Since the source is forged, your bounce likely goes to a bad address that will generate a bounce message back to you, which you will bounce as well. -- Enkidu

The Bounce option is on the bottom. Thank you:) Yes, I know where it is, but I don't see how to comply. As I pointed out, I can block, or I can delete, but I can't find how to do both as it demands. -- -- https://www.shop.helpforheroes.org.uk/
