    if you have your gmail account set up for pop mail. you can use mailwasher to bounce mails back to the sender!

    You will have to be careful with that as they always put a false return email and could bounce back to a real email address who has nothing to do with the Spam.
    So therfore you are bouncing back spam for them to other people and have your email black listed.
    Best to delete
    While I breathe.... I hope

    If you were to use Rules though, you set it up which address it would forward it back to, but the address the email is coming from could have been forged as well. It looks like it may be best to delete them. :)

    Hi,
    I downloaded incredimail (from https://www.incredimail.com) and this has the bounce facility, you could try that?

    I heard incredimail is a spyware so i never use it

    Just find this which might be of interest: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8149108~root=security,1~mode=flat

    The fact that it is a pain to remove as mentioned previously means that it is most likely spyware, or if it isn't, it isn't very good - I prefer me good ol' Outlook! ;)

    I've used incredimail for the past 3 years with no problems and I'm sure it is less vulnerable to trojans etc. than outlook express.
