Certainly sounds like spam, by pretty much anyone's definition. There's
nothing wrong with routing the return-path domain to error when the sending
IP is also in an RBL. I've probably got a few of those in my own router.
It's just a little redundancy that ensures that the spam gets blocked,
which is what really matters.
