That alarms me, Charles. Who have I spammed using the built-in 
"bounce"-function in KMail ?

As far as I can see, my ISPs mail delivery system tries to return 
a message as undeliverable to the sender only. If that sender is 
invalid, it notifies me, and me only.

In case the senders address is valid - and that address is 
spoofed - what's the whole idea ? - If I'm stupid enough to 
respond to the spam and actually want to get ripped off by some 
Nigerian crook, then my answer seems to get into /dev/null, eh ?

If I'm wrong, then what's the "bounce" function for, anyway ?
