Point taken regarding Mailwashers 'bounce' facility.
I only use this when I think there is a good chance that the sender was

As stated, I am not an I.T. expert.
Forgive me for not being 'contextualised' as the previous replier stated.

I will leave the argument here - Thank you for your assistance.
