I never do that Bill. If a human has triggered the bounce they know it is a legitimate email address and you're likely to get more.
My spam filters in Mail app filter off spam, many per day. After a month they get automatically deleted. Mail app just does it all automatically for me. Sometimes I check in the spam folder for legit emails, but rarely find any. Responding only encourages them.
