You shouldn't give a message at all, silence is golden. The mailserver has to indicate error status, I suppose you could try getting the .forward script to barf on spam - perhaps returning some form of failed delivery. I've heard the best way to counter spammers is to setup a dead slow server. A 386 with 2Mb RAM and a Christmas Tree (well decorated with all options turned on) sendmail should just about do it. This is especially valuable if they target every combination of names that might lead to a valid email address in your domain >:) Don't forget to install X windows on the 386 too!
