This is so frustrating! I'm getting more and more spam e-mails and used to be able to bounce mail.
I use a web-based e-mail program (Earthlink) and Verizon internet.
Please help!

Re: Cannot bounce for webmail ix.netcom.com and Verizon
Hi Linda
The bounce isn't an effective anti-spam measure these days. Senders of the spam no longer care if their lists they send out to are clean or not.
A lot of ISPs also now filter out bounces/prevent them from being delivered, as bounces like this are technically forgeries.
That all said, check the SMTP settings for the account(s) in MailWasher under Settings >> Accounts >> Outgoing >> Advanced.
The Verizon settings can be found here https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-17067/
The Earthlink settings here https://help.earthlink.net/portal/en/kb ... omain-name
Note Earthlink don't use SSL, so the Secure Connection type should be NONE.
Cheers
