Please consider not ``bouncing'' SPAM. There have been various DoS type
virus that send email with fictitious headers. When you bounce that
type of SPAM then you are participating in the DoS. The bounce doesn't
even reach the actual sender, it reaches the fictitious sender. Now
that fictitious sender has the potential of being infected with the DoS
virus and further participating in the DoS. So if your email server
filters capture a virus, just delete it and don't bounce it, please.
