Outis fights spam generating and sends a fake "user unknown" bounce for an email you received, so the sender believes your address does not exist. This isn't a new idea: I created a similar program back in 1998–1999, but I decided to revive it because it should work well with the recent trend of automated emails generated by AI, where the sender might expect a reply; it helps remove your email address from their list. Any idea on how to improve it? :) Comments

This used to be a feature in Kmail back in the day. I freaking loved it. Would just right click on spam message and select bounce.

Will check this out.
