Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008Bouncing Mail.
Hi all, For reasons of my own, I would like to not only block mail from a particular sender, I'd also like to "bounce" it back to them, so that they know that I am not taking their e-mails. Is there a way to to this in Windows Mail, or Outlook 2007? Thanks in advance, Dave. I always thought that if you blocked it, it did bounce back. If it didn't where else would it go? > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Dave. Depending on details of your setup, usually either the Junk E-mail folder or the Deleted Items folder. However, it can also be just deleted instead >I always thought that if you blocked it, it did bounce back. If it didn't > where else would it go? [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >> Dave. No, blocked mail doesn't get bounced. It goes into your Junk E-mail folder, which you should periodically review and empty.

If your email provider offers webmail, it's often easier to do this when logged through webmail than to do it with Windows Mail. Avoid doing this for unknown users, though, since it gives any spammers that happen to guess your email address and also happen to include a working return address the information that your email address actually reaches someone, and therefore might be a good place to send more spam. > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Dave. Doesn't it just go to the junk mail folder? Not in OL2007 as the mail has to be received by OL first - generally its not a good idea to bounce mail > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Dave. Windows Mail doesn't have that option, but Windows Live Mail does. However, that feature should not be used with spam.

I want this person to know that their e-mails are not welcome. Surely there must be a way of bouncing their mail so they get the message? Dave. Not exactly a bounce, but you can create a rule to reply to that person with a saved message. Compose a message, stating that you will not read their messages, etc. Save it as a .eml file, using File - Save As Create a rule, Tools - Message rules - Mail New... 1. [x] where the From line contains people 2. [x] reply with message [x] Delete it 3. click on "contains people" and add their email address click on "message" and go find the message you saved previously 4. give the rule a name OK SignatureVista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview >> Hi all, >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Dave.

WinMail will let you make a Message Ryle to Forward the mail to the email address you watch for in the From header.

Indeed, but it won't look like a real bounce.
