Rejecting Email

[Sundance]

is there a way to set up entourage to bounce junk emails back to the sender, rather than have them go into the junk folder?

Why bother? Really, do you think it will help? Often they are using a real
person's email address and you will be spamming them after they have been
hijacked. Delete it and forget it.

get buried in pharmacy spam and i thought if i could get them to bounce back as undeliverable, i might get off the rotation. I have since set up entourage to delete junk after one day so i don't have to delete (i think) this spam manually. will check once a day to make sure it is nothing i want to keep--but will see if this works.

thanks for the reply

Junk email is not sent from real email addresses. They will never see the
bounce. Even if they do, they will not process it - most email marketers get
money by claiming to have lists of billions of email addresses, regardless
of whether they're real. Frequently I see non-blind-copied address lists
that contain all sorts of garbage, including Message-IDs.

okay--thanks for the feedback. would be interesting to know how much of our life times are devoted to deleting junk emails. i know bored individuals have done these same studies for how much of our life we spend waiting at red lights
