I really like Mail.app's bounce to sender feature to combat spam.
However, I don't like how it goes about getting the return-address, because most of the time it doesn't work.
In an email message, there are 2 different places where the reply-to email address is:
In the envelope-from and the normal from.
The problem is, the normal from(the one you can see in the message as From: spammer@hell.com)
can easilly be forged by spammers, and this is the from that Mail.app uses to bounce emails to.
What ends up happening is the bounce messages bounce themselves, and aren't of any use.
That's no good, and needs to be fixed IMHO.
I'm going to submit this as a bug report to Apple, and hopefully they will fix it.
