NAHHH! This defeats the meaning of an error message and if it will be
used worldwide on a big scale, people will simply stop believing in this
error message and ignore it even in the rare "real" cases. I will
personally for my own mozilla tree if this feature gets in. Either you
have the guts to tell people not to bother them (or in case of SPAM you
mostly can't bounce an error back anyway). Or you add a mail filter to
simply delete incoming messages from them.
P.S. Sorry for sounding rude, I don't want to insult anybody.
