Perhaps this is clearer as to what I want to do. Kmail can generate a bounce that appears to be sent from the mail server. Normally, this can be done manually, but I can set its filters (rules) so that mail spamassassin detects as spam is first "bounced" and then moved to a "spam" folder. While the mail is not actually rejected, it appears to the spammer as if it was sent to a non-existent address on the server. If the spammer is gathering and using this information, it thinks that the address is "dead" and deletes it from its database. It is a way of unsubscribing. Can I do the same in evolution? -- Arthur S. Alexion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Arthur S.
