Ask Slashdot: Spoof an Email Bounce With Windows?

Posted by timothy on from the we've-all-got-needs dept.

An anonymous reader writes "One cool feature I used on KMail years ago was the ability to generate a spoofed email bounce for any given message I had received, which claimed delivery failed because of an unknown recipient. While this doesn't exactly align with expected behaviour from a mail client, it was a useful way of easily getting off mailing lists (automated, or manually created by freaky acquaintances!). This is something I really miss, so I'm wondering if there are any mail clients for Windows that provide similar functionality?"

    I work in the automotive industry, specifically related to roadside service (tow trucks and such). I can tell you without reservation that the worst cars today are still more reliable than the best cars of decades gone by. Use per capita for road service has been steadily going down since as far back as I'm aware of our records.

    Since there hasn't been an "Ask Slashdot" that actually resulted in anything but a fucking e-penis flamefuckfest, how about you just eliminate the fucking thing altogether?
