Mailwasher - help needed.

This maybe OT if so apologies, but it looks right to me.

Does anyone know how to stop Mailwasher from marking messages for deletion?
Mailwasher does a great job of filtering SPAM, but it's a pain having to
uncheck Bounce for each SPAM message.

Or is anyone aware of any other freebie that does a similar job but does it
better?

The bounce option is best left turned off. It does absolutely nothing to
deter SPAM to begin with. SPAM is mostly sent via remailers, and often with
a pirated or munged return to address.

I appreciate that, and that is why I want to turn it off. Question is how
do I do so? Hopefully it's v easy and I'm missing something simple. Any
advice gratefully received.

Go to Tools - Options - Blacklist & Friends List - Options and uncheck
the two "bounce" blocks at the bottom of the box.

These options are already de-selected, yet MW is still marking items for
bounce.

Anyone have any other ideas?
