On a slightly different note, Bigpond had a section to report emails
as scam within their internet accounts. I'm not sure that it will
help in the end at all, but it is a little reassuring to see that
they are at least looking like they are trying to help with this
problem. As I have noticed that others like iinet do not have this,
only problem is is that you have to receive them before you can
report them ; - )
I have never seen that bounce before maybe I should look a little
closer at my applications!!

I read once of bounce software that could be used to deflect unwanted

called, indicating that no such email address (as mine) exists. Can
anyone help please? I'm getting sick of Nigerian $$$ scams, fortune
making investments on stocks and shares, and other spurious rubbish
that's getting past iiNet's filter.
The vast majority of spam comes from spoofed From: addresses, many of
which belong to real people. So a spam-"bouncing" system implemented
within your email programme, in reality, just turns into a
spam-amplification system.
