Spammers will often use a return address of someone they want to harass. Bouncing and returning Spam can then create a problem for an innocent person. Spammers rarely see bounced messaged. Best you can do is notify the originating ISP. The ISP IP address is not usually forged. SpamCop can be used to send to the ISP abuse address.
