I keep getting these in response to list posts. It would be nice if people used proper email addresses when they post here. Perhaps the mods should unsubscribe him.

This one worked for me:

if allof ( header :contains "subject" "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender", body :text :contains "markh@mx2.compro.net" ) { discard; stop; } Well, using Thunderbird one can simply setup with a few clicks and typed letters a message filter which sends these messages to Junk.

But what I have now been doing is to send these messages back to the mail bot which is sending me those Undelivered Mail msgs. TB makes doing this rather easy: I sent a batch of these in a matter of a few seconds. Other than traffic and self-satisfaction, what is it you suppose this accomplishes? Oh Patrick, surely you have not yet reached the age where you had forgotten how satisfying self-satisfaction really can be? Then why not send the mail to "postmaster@mx2.compro.net", who can actually do something, whether he will or not .... Then you actually are harassing someone rather than just increasing web traffic?

I thought that this is exactly what I was doing - sending it back to for the "postmaster" to get a taste of the rubbish s/he was sending out by way of bounced mail. Seems to have worked as the incidence of bounced mail became less and less and has has stopped.

And the satisfaction becomes real rather than "imagined".

Oooh, my satisfaction was never imagined, Patrick! It was real, I can tell you. Even without the red pills.
