OT: Mailwasher - Bouncing?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Lurker
  • Start date Start date
Unfortunately, the author of the program doesn't believe there is a
problem with bouncing. It has more to do with marketing than reducing
spam.
Having said that.....I find the best time to use the bounce feature is
when those relatives/friends (and I use the term loosely for this
example) insist on sending multi-megabyte attachments unannounced,
that are "really funny".

Yes! I bounce several huge "funny" items per week back at my
sister-in-law, who has sent out hundreds of emails since discovering
computers a year and a half ago but who has never actually sent an actual
message- only a never-ending slew of Fw,Fw,Fw crap. The problem is that she
doesn't even notice these bounced, "undeliverable" messages and keeps
sending the stuff out to everyone in her contacts list regardless. I do
love her, though.

Regards,
Ian.
 
Ive never used a product that has a bounce feature, so im not sure, but
even though you bounce an email to a fake address, at least that person
who's email is being fake by a spammer "now" knows someone is faking his
address and may take precautions to stop it, otherwise that person would
not of know his email is being used illegally at all? so wouldn't some
people consider it a favor to bounce spam?

I mean wouldn't you like to know if someone was using your email as a
fake spam address, yes or no?

You would already know. When a spammer sends out millions of spam , a lot
of them will be to invalid addresses, and those will be automatically
bounced back to you anyway. That's what they call a joe job. Your manual
bounce just adds to the problem.

But if we keep reminding him... he may eventually listen! The progression
of MWP as a program is pretty impressive.

My sincere sympathy to you - I hate when that happens :)

I mourn the loss of the good old days. Back before the people we knew
from ordinary life, including the relatives, had email. Higher standards
back then, and mail was more consistently dignified, and enjoyable. Now
with the relatives and all, it's a bummer -- and yes, since you know them
in other ways, you also have the task of forgiving them their appalling
tackiness.

Btw, I like how you put it.

Ah! I love it when pissing people like you do not have my email address.

Thus I don't have to do the work of having Mailwasher bounce you out.

Why would anyone want your email address? You are obviously the kind
of bitch who sticks her nose in perfect people's business.

Sweetpea, if you ever got anyone IN you'd become deliriously happy.

You're a loser from the git-go...
 
A weebaby troll, still not far enough out of diapers to sock-puppet its
droppers with any more kloo than sticking random From:<names> into its
headers.

The point is, sweetpea, that it pisses you off terribly to be outed
for what you are. Live with the fact that you are a piece of dog shit.
