Anyone know of any add on software I can use (other than Spam Inspector),
where when I receive an email message I can bounce it back to the sender so
it looks like I didn't get it?

TIA

MailWasher will do that but 'bouncing' is really not a good practice,
as it doesn't always work 'as advertised'. Many spammers use real
return addresses that do not belong to them (but DO belong to real
users!) and, beside that, some people say that spammers can tell when
the message is actually 'bounced' rather than just returned from a
mail server. Therefore, you're telling the spammer that your address
is valid.

You'd be much better off just deleting messages that you do not want
and, to that end, you may want to check out MailWasher, anyway, as it
is the best anti-spam software, *IMO*, and will allow you to easily
delete unwanted messages BEFORE you download them to your Inbox.
