Actually, about 90% of the time we hear about cases like this, the question
is "How do I stop the spammer from sending mail with my return address",
not "How do I stop the bounce messages."
Of course, when people hear that it is impossible to stop the spammer using
technological methods, they usually just resort to using technological
methods to stop the bounce messages, rather than trying to stop the spammer
(which, BTW, can be done -- we have done it before).
