I keep getting emails not meant for me because the senders cannot be
bothered to look up the correct addresses, and guess them. What I would like
to do is bounce it straight back to the sender with an error message, then
they may get the hint. Is this possible and if so how do I do it. I am using
Windows XP and Outlook 2002.

TIA
Mike

You could use Mailwasher. But don't use its bounceback feature to send
e-mail back to a spammer as that identifies your e-mail address as not
only valid but also monitored (bouncing back e-mail manually whenever
you happen to read your e-mail is NOT the same as if the SMTP server
immediately bounces back an undeliverable e-mail). Or you could just
hit the Reply button and add your error message (using the Signature
toolbar button to add your canned error message).

Great idea Mike! If you find anything good out foreward
me a copy too bro! I have actually wished I could do
somethig like this with spammers. Only not just an
average error message. One that cites laws of statutes or
something, requests that I not recieve any further mail
form them under these laws and threatens to sue maybe.
These guys have really crossed the line with me.

Yours truly,
Jake
