I have a few tests setup to do ALERT. When that test fails, Junkmail
sends the alert to the original sender.
However, when spammers put the recipient as the sender, my users get the
ALERT action.
The end result is that they actually get the spam message.
That's exactly how it should work -- and exactly why you have to be careful using the BOUNCE and ALERT actions.

If your users don't like getting those, the other innocent victims of real spam won't like them either. If a spammer uses a fake return address -- whether it is that of a user of yours, or someone you don't know -- damage will be done by using the BOUNCE or ALERT action. It's just a matter of whether the user is yours or someone you don't know.

In this case, I would recommend not using the BOUNCE or ALERT actions. Those actions are typically only appropriate when most of the mail they would catch would be legitimate mail from mailservers that have problems.
