Comment notification email - note little triangle by 'me'

I've been getting notifications that some laptop repair center in Delhi, India, has posted a comment on my blog. It's spam, but when I go to the target post, the comment isn't there. Okay, fine, saves me having to delete it. Today I decided to look a little closer and when I click on the little triangle next to 'me' this pops up:

blogger.bounces.google.com

Look like the great and powerful Google has rejected the comment. Funny, they don't tell me that, but Okay. So now I mark it as spam by clicking on the spam icon.

 

Spam icon is one highlighted with the gray circle

Now this message pops up:

Report spam & unsubscribe

Yes, I want no more notices about spam comments that you have rejected. Unfortunately, what Report spam & unsubscribe does is unsubscribe you from ALL comment notifications.

Well, that is NOT what I want, but since it's done, I'll probably have to go wade into the bowels of Blogger and reset the flag. That's probably what happened last time, I just didn't notice.

Go ask Google about this bounces.blogger.google.com address and nobody will tell me straight up what the deal is. What I deduce is that apparently Blogger keeps track of spammers and rejects them out of hand.

P. S. Should have included a little border when I was capturing the popup messages, would have made it easier to distinguish screen captures from my comments.
