When you say 'It Doesn't Work' , it actually does, or at least it achieves
the object as far as i'm concerned and that is the crap  doesn't hit my
inbox..even if you can't bounce a message because a non valid address was
given, you have still blocked it getting into your inbox. Bouncing back DOES
work-I had a huge drop off in the amount of Spam I was receiving, and that
can only be down to bouncing every last bit of Spam..

As for setting rules up in it, I've never bothered...In fact I prefer the
'hands on' approach to delete what I want-takes a few seconds, and any
garbage has gone.
