Keep in mind that that feature is (usually) pretty useless.

Most spammers forge the return address which is why, after using Bounce to
Sender in Mail.app, a lot of folks find that the email bounces back to
*them*, forcing you to deal with the spam a second time.

This article points to what might be a better idea:
FTC: Where Spam Goes Off to Die�
Sex swindles, credit card cons, dubious diet plans, drugs to grow hair and
other body parts -- if it arrives in an unsolicited e-mail, the Federal
Trade Commission wants it.

In Entourage, I have an Applescript called SpamReporter Script:
<http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=14462&db=mac>

that, when invoked, sends the spam to the US government at the address
listed in the above article. Makes me feel good that the Feds are dealing
with my spam too. :-)
