How does MailWasher bounce messages?
A. MailWasher uses an algorithm to determine the best route to send the bounced message back (from, reply to, return path) and actually sends the bounce back via your ISP’s postmaster, so it looks exactly like it has come from your ISP and not from you at your address. If the spammer has used a fake address, then your bounce message will itself be bounced back to the postmaster and you won’t receive the bounced bounce email. Q. What does the bounced message look like? A. Send yourself an email, then bounce it. The message will be bounced back to the sender and they will receive an email similar to a returned mail message you would receive if you sent an email to a wrong address. Q. I cant bounce messages! A. Make sure the SMTP settings are correct. Another reason you may not be able to bounce messages is you are bouncing messages for an account that is not the same as your dial up provider. To get around this problem, make the SMTP settings for your account is the same as your dial up
Bouncing makes it looks as if your email address is not valid. Great for letting your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/ wife/husband/friend think your email address doesn’t exist anymore and that you’re no longer contactable. MailWasher uses an algorithm to determine the best route to send the bounced message back (from, reply to, return path) and actually sends the bounce back via your ISP’s postmaster, so it looks exactly like it has come from your ISP and not from you at your address. Warning: If the spammer has used a fake address, then your bounce message will itself be bounced back to the postmaster and you won’t receive the bounced bounce email. So please don’t use this feature to bounce back spam as most spam is sent from fake sender addresses, so the bounces go nowhere and may annoy your internet service provider.
