Sorry Warren, I cannot see how bouncing spam is going to affect someone
else's mailbox unless it is addressed to that mailbox. That doesn't make
sense. Bouncing must have worried a few spammers who were getting their
spam back marked "unable to be delivered" as most now use a false address
and I get a note back saying it could not be delivered. I will not have
confirmed any address of mine since the "bounce" marks the mail as unable
to be delivered.Bouncing does not confirm my address.
As for mailwasher it takes me one or two seconds to tell whether I really
want to bounce, delete or download. I can get through 40 or 50 emails in a
very short time. about 10% will be spam.
I keep another email address for friends and trusted contacts. I get no
spam on it.
Bob VK6BE.
from Warren.
