Bouncing -- for real
Authored by: beastie on Jun 20, '02 02:34:36PM
i don't think it's possible.... at any case bouncing can be implemented only on the server side (your ISP probably).

No program on your client-side computer can perform real bouncing because the message in question has been received already by your ISP mail servers. What happens after that is simple mail retrieval from /var/spool/mail where your email gets stored.
Mail.app feature "bounce" works by spoofing message body so it only looks like it was bounced by sendmail... it's not real bounce...
