Outlook 2003 should have a bounce feature

G

Guest

I was using my friend’s iBook today to check my mail using OS X's Mail
program (Mail.app), when I saw a really awesome feature. In Apple's OS X
Mail program you can right click and select "Bounce". Bounce will return the
e-mail to the sender as if your e-mail account never existed.

Now I know this isn't a full proof thing, but hey it couldn't hurt to add
this awesome feature on top of Outlook 2003 already amazing Spam Filtering
software. I personally would love to have such a feature, and this wouldn't
help keep Outlook above the other e-mail programs in my opinion. As it would
make my daily experience with Outlook 2003 even more enjoyable.

I hate that bounce feature; it doesn't reduce spam. In fact it only adds
more needless e-mail traffic.
Also most of the spam addresses are not even real so you'll bounce will be
bounced back to you again.
When the address is spoofed you'll be harassing someone with a bounce who
didn't even send you the original message.

But as I posted before. Wishes can be made here;

That's where I initially went, but that page only searches for a question.
It doesn't let me submit a wish.
