No. Constructive means you tell them what to do instead, ranging from
"you'd better step back" to "this doesn't solve your problems - you'd
rather see a shrink". If memory serves right (and it has been a few
years): Construere, construvi, constructum (lat.) = to build. A
building, an idea, a perspective; something "new" as output, if you so
want, not just halting the current process. :-P

No disagremeent here. I used Redirect in the subject line, as this is
the word I hear most often; I also put the word Bounce in there, as I
know it is the correct term.

This one hasn't: I need the final recipient to know that it was me who
bounced the msg to him. Considering that he doesn't see the X-Sender
header (In the test I just conducted, I couldn't find the "Resent-"
header as mentioned in the RFC), how would he know? Maybe this wasn't
considered 18 years ago.
