That's cool .. I'll bear it in mind in case I meet a
similar situation ;-)
But spammers seem to use bots of one sort or another, and
a couple of the people on this list (now including me) are
convinced that bouncing spam just lets them know you are
there ... mine increased after using mailwasher, but is
thinning out now with the filters. It's taking a while,
but I have an *old* email address, and there's a *lot* of
spam.
I also found mailwasher slow .. and it takes long enough
to deal with the mail already.
I'm sure MW is a good option for some, particularly if
their mailers don't have really good filtering, but I'll
go with the filters.
