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".
| 
| <NewLine><dash><dash><space><NewLine>
| 
| This "cut mark" is recognized by many eMail programs and is used as a
| cut off point for signatures. That way, when someone replies to one of
| your messages, your signature (anything below the cut mark) is
| removed. Likewise, when you reply to a message from someone that
| includes cut mark, The Bat! will remove anything below the cut mark
| from the text you quote.

You may also want to not put your eMail address in the message as it
will show up in the Archives. EMail address harvesting software loves
that type of thing.
