IMHO its better for a sender to get "Your Mail has been rejected due to

Except that they don't get that message. Instead they get a long,
cryptic bounce message which _might_ include the the text the receiving
MTA sends buried somewhere inside it. In my experience users don't read
beyond the "your message cannot be delivered", even moderately technical
users.
This is something the MTAs generating the bounce message could be a
_lot_ better at.
And then people start getting bounced messages for emails they didn't
even send (faked from address) which adds to the spam. IMHO spam should
not be bounced.
