Bouncing Spam

HI-

The Apple mail application has a nice feature for dealing with spam. You 
can "bounce" a message back to its origin with the (false) information 
that your email account does not exist ("User unknown"). It doesn't always 
work, but in some cases the system sending out the spam will remove your 
"incorrect" email address from its list, resulting in a reduction in 
future spam. (My wife tested this theory and did observe a reduction in 
spam.)

I'm wondering whether a similar feature exists in pine. I know there is a 
bounce command in pine - but it works differently. It simply forwards the 
message to a new email address as if it never came to you. This is not the same 
thing as Apple's bounce.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

ET
