Not bounced, rejected. This means the sending mta sends the rejected email
back to the user, so it wouldn't get caught in the spam trap[1].
At least if the email is rejected, the user knows that the recipient
didn't see it. If its lost in the spam box, then the sender wouldn't know
if it was received or not.
About half my junk mail is rejected spam originating from some b*** who
stole my identity. The "originator" and the "user" are not the same and I
don't even want to see these rejections. Fortunately my filters catch most
of these but too many still slip through.
