Incredimail question:
My Incredimail program has a "bounce to sender" option that supposedly returns an incoming e-mail to the sender, making it appear that your e-mail address is no good.
I use it on the spam that does get through.
I almost always get an "unable to deliver e-mail" notice back (from the bounce) in a few minutes.

But does the spammer "get the message" anyway?
Seems like I'm getting less spam.
:shrug:

1. They usually use false information in the from and reply to fields.

So any reply will be returned as undeliverable.

3. I use Mailwasher
And it bounces the mail; most of the time I don't get one of those messages.
