My understanding has been that most Spammers don't care if they have
incorrect email addresses (frequently they're stealing the bandwidth used to
send the messages anyway). The sender address is not usually the spammers
address anyway. Also, the message generated by 'bounce to sender" is easily
recognized as a fake bounce by those who know how email works. True bounces
are generated when the sender's email server contacts the recipient's server
and the message is refused (or when the sender's server can't contact the
recipient's server). A true bounce is usually generated by the SMTP server
that the sender uses. I believe that 'bounce to sender' is a waste.
