That depends on the mail server. Some are more inclined to accept a piece of mail and bounce it later; some reject it immediately. So the original poster could certainly forge a plausible bounce message. If the goal is to fool a human correspondent, that might work. But if the goal is to reduce spam, then forged bounces are unlikely to help, as most spammers don't use real return addresses.
