Is there a way to bounce just one e-mail address? I have catch-all e-mail setup, but one e-mail address gets tons of spam. Never use it. So I would like to somehow just bounce this one e-mail address.

Thanks for any help.

Well, this won't bounce messages, but I don't bounce those anyway because then I just get back a double bounce in the catchall since all of the spam sender addresses are usually fake.

Anyway, this is compliments of NightHawk (I believe) from a post awhile ago...

Set up a single email account (I use null@domain.com)

Do not click off the "Mailbox" option to create mailbox on the server. Don't forward ore re-direct the mail anywhere either. Just create the mailname and that's it.

Then when you have a certain email address that gets a lot of spam, create a mailname for that one and re-direct the mail to your null@domain.com mailname.

That will effectively send the spam off to null space, never to be seen again.
