Hi Batpersons, On or about, Friday, January 24, 2003, 3:38:27 AM, we have reason to believe that ~John wrote: ~ Is it possible to Bounce E-Mail in TheBat! kind of like the way ~ MailWasher does ? There's some fairly recent discussion about this in the archives. IIRC, the question came up twice in a short period in November/December, and generated a lot of discussion, both on the principle and the technicalities. If you search the archives for bounce, you should find it. -- Best regards, Nick @mantech.co.uk Using The Bat! 1.60c on Windows XP Build 2600 Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hey ~John, My MUA believes 'The Bat! (v1.62 Christmas Edition) Personal' was used to write [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] on Thursday, January 23, 2003 at 10:38:27 PM. ~ Is it possible to Bounce E-Mail in TheBat! kind of like the way ~ MailWasher does ? Depends on how you define Bounce. Mostly it is defined as a 550 response from the SMTP server. ,- [ Here is a bounce I forced to show what it would look like ] | 550 5.7.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [1.2.3.4] `- If that is how you are defining Bounce then no, TB can't because it is a response from the SMTP Server software, and TB is a MUA (client). If you want to send some sort of message back to the spammer saying that this is not a valid address, please stop, I suggest thinking that one over. A reply to a spammer can verify that your address is one that is not only valid, but active also! == ,- [People on this list are much happier if you use a Cut Mark] | This is a special sequence that starts on a new line and consists of | two dashes (minus signs) and a space followed by another new line. | | NewLinedashdashspaceNewLine | | This cut mark is recognized by many eMail programs and is used as a | cut off point for signatures.

Hello Tim, Friday, January 24, 2003, 9:31:43 AM, you wrote: If you want to send some sort of message back to the spammer saying that this is not a valid address, please stop, I suggest thinking that one over. A reply to a spammer can verify that your address is one that is not only valid, but active also! Actually MailWasher tries to use the mailserver's PostMaster's e-mail address to relay the message back. But, if your ISP's mailserver doesn't allows relays, then that won't work. I was able to use the bounce feature of MailWasher before my ISP strengthened the security of their servers. Now, I only use MailWasher's spam filtering(by using black lists and user defined filters) to help in deleting unwanted e-mails directly on the server before downloading them. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Bounce Filter ?
Is it possible to Bounce E-Mail in TheBat! kind of like the way MailWasher does ? -- Best Regards, ~John, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Bounce Filter ?
Hi John, I'm not sure about this but I HAVE come across a system called Habeas which is a very cunning little device - unfortunately I haven't yet figured how to install the code in my header of The Bat! so if anyone can help me there, I'll try it and let you know how good it is at bouncing and filtering. If you want to know more about Habeas, go to their website at habeas.com.
