In your case the from address is of course right - but I saw people who
used the postmaster address of their email provider. If your own bounce
bounces (which is often the case with spam), then the postmaster of your
email provider gets the bounce - and causes additional work for him. The
three German providers I asked about this topic also said that they will
immediately close down the account due to address forgery. So just use
postmaster@ or mailer-daemon@ if you own these addresses - normally only
the case if you own the domain.
Second: Shouldn't the bounce go the the return-path instead of the from
address? I'm not sure about that, but it's a way to unsubscribe from
mailinglists someone put you on using a freemailer account, which he
forwards to you when he or she finished the confirmation messages
(%ORETURNPATH).
And of course you're completely right when reporting spam to spamcop (or
the isp) instead of letting it bounce.
