Apparently the pay version only > works with hotmail, not yahoo. Sigh. The search goes on. Be careful when actually applying such kind of spam rejections. Many recent spams have "spoofed" mail senders (mimicking users of large providers), and returned message from you can easily become yet another spam to a third party. Furthermore, returning rejected messages will inform the spam company that "your address is alive and reacting" -- this information is simply collected by these companies and is registered as future recipients. Today's one intentional spam rejection is a potential cause of tomorrow's ten more spams from different addresses... Sorry for the slight off-topic. Regards, Taichi Kato
