*NEVER* Bounce. Ever.
Reject, yes. Bounce? Absolutely never. If you bounce a message to

you *never* get removed.
Your server, Your rules but don't try to influence people with bad
ideas.
if a server is sending bounces instead reject messages it is wrong
configured
Indeed. But there are circumstances where a reject isn't possible. In
those cases, the choice is between drop or bounce. And bounce is the
right choice if the reason for the non-delivery is anything other than
spam filtering.
there is no other valid reason accept a incoming message and after
that send a bounce - that's the Microsoft Exchange way accepting and
then send bounces "user unknown", but this is unacceptable behavior
Just because one server routinely gets it wrong doesn't mean that all
servers which correctly bounce instead of drop are getting it wrong.
