in thread RESLOVED: Bouncing Email w/ Perl

It is not possible to send a real bounce message from a delivered message since bounce messages come from the mail server. It is possible to send something that looks like a bounce message, but is conceptually more like an automated response.

Doing all this without modules is hard because you need to parse the message to find the return address, generate the bounce messages possibly with attachments, and do the SMTP transactions.
