I think you can turn that off. And it's not a scam. It's a good idea
which no longer works in most cases.

A scam would be some way that Mailwasher was cheating the user. Not
something that possibly annoys a third party.

whatever is listed in the From line of the spam; which is usually an
innocent party having nothing to do with the spam.
If it weren't for that fact, it'd be a good app. But they KNOW about the
problem and refuse to fix it; been like that for years.


I think the user can turn it off. What other fix could there be?

I, and many others like me who only look at headers, not the content of
spam, will report such "bounces" as the spam they are, even though
unintentional, and sometimes that gets innocent users to lose their email
accounts. Maybe they've recently fixed it; but I doubt it; they've had that
phoney feature since day one.
There are other, more reliable and useful programs out there.
