I am not saying this is a good idea, but it sounds to me like what would fit the bill here would be a new folder for each user called "Bounced" in which they would see all messages sent to their email address but which were bounced by their mailbox provider. However, that would defeat the purpose of preventing sufficiently malicious email from wasting mailbox provider resources, and would seem to be largely redundant with the purposes of having a quarantine folder. It would allow for users to report undesired bounces to the mailbox provider, though.
