Angry Returning unwanted Email

Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to add unwanted Email addresses (like the blocked senders list in Outlook Express).

I really want something that can return to sender as undelivered any unwanted Email.

The blocked sender list only sends the mail to my deleted items folder but I want to force spammers to stop sending me crap by returning it !

TIA

Forget it, just delete it. If you send it back or open it you just verify your addess and you get more spam.

morriswindgate is right; dont even attempt it.
You could get your ISP to turn on some spam blockers instead.

Thanks to you all for the advice.

I have to say I'm in agreement with morriswindgate and statica cos that's what I've been doing up to now.

I've downloaded mailwasher - just for a look you understand...

Cheers.
