I assume you mean dump not bounce? Bouncing spam is a very bad idea. I have personally been the recipient hate mail and even several "I will kill you" messages (according to babblefish, as they were mostly French) because spam was sent with my email address (while I was a comcast customer). If you don't want the emails dump them after SA tags them as spam but don't bounce them. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_job or google backscatter joe job.
