If by some miracle, you accidentally reject valid mail, at least the sender receives a non-delivery notification. On the other hand, if it really *was* spam, at least you're not responsible for generating a bounce. You're being a good Internet citizen by triggering a NDN, but you're being a cautious Internet citizen by forcing someone else to generate the NDN.
