Long story short, I want to bounce email w/ perl - selectively. I have an email interface that I built w/ perl and HTML. Everything sent to @mydomainname.com comes into the same email box. But alot of mail is coming in at addresses I've never created or used. So, I want to bounce it.

How do you bounce an email? I can't seem to find any info anywhere on that. Any help would be appreciated.

Update 16 Apr 2014

I'm surprised I remembered the password to this account, but apparently I do.

Let me start by thanking everyone who responded - and I do mean everyone. Each of you took time out of your day to respond when doing so benefited you none. You shared with me what you knew and tried to help me find better ways to do things. And for that, I sincerely thank you.

My shame at my outburst (below) has kept me away from this forum for over a decade. Please accept my humble apologies.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
