How can I block someone's e-mail address and have the mail bounce back to
them. Thanks.

Make a message rule to Delete it from server. Don't attempt to bounce. If it
is a fake address, your bounce will end up in a loop being bounced back to
you, and if the address is real, then all you accomplished was to verify
your address is valid.

Thanks. I know it's a good address and I prefer to have it bounce back to
the sender. Can I do that?

If it is a fake address, your bounce will end up in a loop being
bounced
back to you, and if the address is real, then all you accomplished
was
to verify your address is valid.

Those fake bounces impersonate your ISP's
'MAILER-DAEMON', and that generally is a violation of the TOS of your ISP.

Why should anyone suppose this true?

I have a nasty habit of reporting MailWasher bounces as abuse to the ISP
where
they originate. The ISP may just ignore my complaints; but who knows? I
also
put the source IP address in my mail server ACL, which means that future
fake bounces are rejected by my server. Your server, which is used by
MailWasher to send those fake bounces, will then bounce the MW bounce
right
back at the sender.

Perhaps N. Miller employs a nonstandard configuration.
In several years of bouncing bogus emails via Mailwasher
I do not recall a single instance of "a loop being bounced
back to you." (Mailwasher can be configured to bounce
from the ISP server: no logic suggests how this can
confirm "the address is real.")

I am glad that I am not in your address book. I am sure that you will
reciprocate. I only hope that your victim isn't as testy as I am
about fake bounces from MailWasher. Those fake bounces impersonate
your ISP's 'MAILER-DAEMON', and that generally is a violation of the
TOS of your ISP. I have a nasty habit of reporting MailWasher bounces
as abuse to the ISP where they originate. The ISP may just ignore my
complaints; but who knows? I also put the source IP address in my
mail server ACL, which means that future fake bounces are rejected by
my server. Your server, which is used by MailWasher to send those
fake bounces, will then bounce the MW bounce right back at the sender.

True; so do I, and without bothering to look at them. A "bounce" can
ONLY be accomplished by an ISP at the time the message arrives at the
servers and NEVER at any other time. MW actually creates a NEW e-mail
to use as a phoney "bounce" message and then, to make matters worse,
uses one of the most easily forged fields of an e-mail to choose the
recipient; the From: address. If that mail happened to be a spam, which
99% of them are, then an innocent party was just spammed by MW.
Therefore MW bounces ARE considered as spam, and are readily reportable
as spam to the relevant upstreams and horizontals.
This is a well known problem with MW; it never ceases to amaze me how
almost competant they are with other parts of the program, especially
using the block lists, and yet it's brain dead about what a bounce is,
and how it can not possibly be done by MW, in addition to being designed
to used forged address fields. They are well aware of the problem, have
been for years, and yet refuse to either correct the code or at least
explain that what they are doing is not really bouncing an e-mail, but
instead creating a new e-mail and sending it to a likely forged address.

Nope, not going to Vista. Why?
Simple: It offers me nothing I need nor
even want that I don't already have.
So, why switch? NOT gonna happen.
