The program identifies know and potential spam messages and you add those that you identify as spam for future checks but were not already marked. You can even bounce messages as undeleverable if you want, but I don't generally recommend it as you see below.

I use Mailwasher also, but just to let me delete emails I don't want instead of downloading them. I can also designate some senders or sites as Spam and their emails will show up highlighted and marked for deletion so it's easy to manage my inbox. As for bouncing, even if someone at the sender looks at the returned email, the time delay from sending to bouncing lets them know the address is good, so it just confirms they have a "live one".
