Yeah incredimail is really easy to bounce back. Just right click. You can even block sender/bounce back in one go :rotfl:You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0 -
A program called mailwasher does this
http://www.mailwasher.net/
Bounce back unwanted e-mails so the sender gets a 'User does not exist' bounced email back, thus making it look as if your email address is not valid. Great for letting someone you don't like (eg. ex-girlfriend/ex-boyfriend/annoying newsletter senders) think your email address doesn't exist anymore and that you're no longer contactable.pulliptears wrote: »In mail on a Mac is a great setting where you can bounce mail back so it appears the address isn't working. I bounce all the crap now and its really cut it down.
Not sure if you can do a similar thing on PC?0 -

Ive found the bounce thing very useful, as I said I've noticed a drop in spam since I started bouncing it back. When you click 'unsubscribe' companies know the address is active, but with bounce it appears it isnt.0 -
I just add all unwanted mail to spam folder in gmail. gmail is very good at removing unwanted spam anyway those that get through can easily be added
I often find subscribe option doesn't work or takes awhile for spam to stop sometimes spammers want you to reply so they know ist geuine addrss0
