Bounce it where? The senders address is usually fictitious.

I get a fair amount of spam but I have to say, since switching to using Thunderbird for my email I hardly ever see it; does a fantastic job of spotting and getting rid of spam for you.

And actually, please DON'T bounce it.

The senders address is more likely to be a real address, just not the sender. These days they use harvested address for the 'from' as well as the 'to' to get around people trying to block based on sender.

So if you bounce it, all you do is throw even more spam at some other poor sod (probably half the crap I get is either people or systems "bouncing" stuff that was never sent by me but happens to have faked my email address as the sender. Grrr)

Yes. I want a gmail account, if that is free from SPAM. Can anyone send me an invite?


Send me a private message with your current e-mail addy and I'll send you an invite.
I have been using gmail for about 6 months and in all that time maybe 4 or 5 unsolicited mail has come through, absolutely great!
