Assuming the mail user agent had such a feature, that wouldn't be useful because your mail exchange should not have accepted the message at all. Apart from that, spammers don't [seem to] care about mailer-daemon notifications from relays or the final server. I doubt they even get and evaluate those error messages. They either work with sender addresses that don't exist, with someone else's address, or with freemail accounts which act as a data-sink for mailer-daemon messages (and get emptied periodically or filled up to the limit). Unless, of course, it is your personal experience that returning UCE/SPAM as a fake mailer-daemon message works. I don't think it does. Complaining to a provider's or company's Abuse Department sometimes works wonders. Not in Korea, Taiwan or China, though. > No, I'm pretty sure the original question was for the "bounce" > capability that pine has.
