RandomClown Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Hello, I want to have my home computer respond to certain emails with a "Failed to send" type messages. I saw there were stuff in the settings of gmail like: "Have your own domain? Use Gmail with your domain for free." Is there any way to hook up my home computer with gmail to send messages quoting the sender's email & date sent? I want to see if spammers will fall for the error mail: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: [My email]@gmail.com Technical details of permanent failure: The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces.

Can this be done with the ISS stuff? thanks PS: I do not get any spam in my inbox, but it wont hurt to try on my spam account. [which also never gets spam in the inbox] Quote
Zimmer Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Interesting but I think the spam bot would just recogonize your acount as a true one by detecting someone sending back a response no matter what it is. Then again it depends on how the spammer wants detection he may have set it up to work. Nice question post I would enjoyed to here what happens. Quote
RandomClown Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 yep, I think your right. It would be sending as my account instead of the gmail team. Still no idea on how to do it though. Quote
