Yes, that seems reasonable, however, it also allows the spammer to know which addresses work. By accepting everything, they can't remove addresses that don't exist and thus refine their list. It means more lines in my log files, but I'm hoping to do my part to fight spam.
In this day and age spammers are spoofing the from address any way and not seeing the bounce messages. Most junk is coming from open proxies or compromised machines. The so called "marketers" are still list washing but IMO it's not worth the extra burden you are making for yourself.
