| Maria,
I'm not as impressed with the Bounce feature as I thought I'd be. First, it sends the bounce back as being resent from my email address that it is telling them doesn't exist. Kinda useless, if anyone really looks. Then, the other factor is that very little of the junk mail I get has a valid return address, so I get the bounce bounced back to me!
What I do with a lot, though not all junk mail, is this: I hit the Command/Shift/H to put in the long headers, then forward it to < email@hidden> where Uncle Sam is supposed to be trying to stop spammers with it. If it is sent to a bunch of .mac adresses, I also forward it to < email@hidden> It is important, if you are going to forward to these, that you forward the long headers, as that is what is going to help the geeks find who really sent it! If id didn't get sent to my junk folder, I mark it as junk, and then delete it. Mail is supposed to be learning what is junk when we mark junk as junk.

Does anyone know how to filter unsolicited/unwanted emails from a .mac email account? I am being bombarded with these types of emails. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

One of the features in Mail that I love is the Bounce button. When an unwanted 'junk' mail comes to me, I hit Bounce and that usually stops them.
