Wouldn't it be nice to have automatic reply sent to spam mail stating it is spam and no further correspondence is wanted?

Does this already exist or can it be done? Just tired of seeing the hundreds of spams build up daily, have them deleted after one week automatically, such a damned waste.

    It is a very bad idea to respond in any way to a spam email - not even by sending an unsubscribe message. All you do is confirm to the spammers that your address is live and is in use - which then makes it more valauable to them as they can sell it on to other spammers.

    All that would do is verify your address so sender can sell it to other spammers. Besides many times legit email is misclassified as spam.
