I sent 4 test message to "myself" as follows:The only difference that immediately jumps to mind is that the "bounce" message will originate from a remote server, not from their own server.
1) <nobody> a non-existent account
2) <full> an account with a 0K mailbox
3) <closed> an account with Account Enabled unchecked
4) <test-list> an account with a mailbox and a mirror to <closed>
Note that in test 4 I have SIMS insert the mirrored-by message which gives away the scam. If it was not inserting the message, it would look like #3.
Here are the bounce messages returned:
