Yes, it goes back to the server doing the sending. Its a double bounce when the bounce message itself bounces. I dont know how this virus is proigating itself, but I would imagine that if it does the sending itself, rejecting at the initial smtp session would not result in a double bounce. However, if it uses some relay (that it either set up itself, or found on a network, etc) and used forged headers, then it will go to some unsusspecting person (of whoever is in the headers).
