One word of warning here -- Since about 99% or so of spammers use forged
return addresses, this is going to waste a lot of resources (both on your
end, and on the victim's end). You need to weigh the benefit of the bounce
message against the drawback of sending bounces to innocent victims. If
there are going to be a lot of legitimate E-mails bouncing, it's OK (the
HELOBOGUS test, for example). For a test that has very few false positives
(WEIGHT20, for example), bouncing the E-mail is usually a very bad thing to do.
