Bounce back spam emails on Lion

I have been receiving undesirable emails which I wish to bounce back. I used to do this on my old Mac but can't find out how to do it on my Lion version.

Has anyone conquered this problem. Help please.

The old "Bounce to sender" is no longer available. It was never a good idea to begin with, as it does nothing to prevent spam and can only contribute to more.


Enable junk mail filtering in Mail. You can customize it with Rules: select "Perform custom actions" and you can do anything you want including writing a script to bounce it back, if you insist upon it, which you shouldn't...
