Some time around 09/07/2004 01:19:58, I think I heard Doug Weller say: I'm not at all sure bouncing emails is a good thing. How often will they bounce to the correct address? Why add to the amount of junk? And, of course, if you bounce an email where a virus has added someone else's address to the headers, won't you be bouncing it back to an innocent victim? That happens to me already quite enough thank you. :-) Doug Hello: I think he's refering to what TB! calls redirect.

I'm so glad to be on the same page with you here! And, as Doug W. said in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the case of a spoofed address you are bouncing to an innocent victim of a virus.

The use of bounce I know means to bounce back a message to the original sender, pretending that your account does not exist (it's used for SPAM mainly). That's one of the uses of the term. Eudora Pro and TB! call a feature to relay messages to a different user, with complete original headers, Redirect. Some other clients, in particular, of the *NIX kind call it bounce. They both mean the same thing: to relay the exact same message to a different account, with the original headers intact, i.e. redirecting or bouncing the message off your mailbox. What you are referring to is a mail delivery failure notification, which is also commonly called a bounce. Since TB! does not have a native bounce function to delivery failure notifications to the original senders -- as far as I know -- I assumed that the original poster referred to the redirect function. But of course, I could be wrong. My 7-year-old son uses the Incredimail mail client (awful bandwith spender, I know) and it has that feature. I agree that spurious mail delivery notifications generated automatically by some anti-spam solutions just clog the pipes with no real benefit. However, redirecting, or bouncing, a message to a different account can be a very useful feature. dZ.

I seem to missing something here - how do I bounce e-mails? I get enough scams (not spam) that it would be nice to bounce them. I too seem to be missing this feature. Perhaps he is referring to the Redirect feature. That only program I know of that bounces mail is MailWasher.
