Yes, I see that *now*. Thanks. I think I was tunnel-visioned on the end of the 
line.

After looking up the original email I see this is a account that forwards mail 
to a gmail account, and gmail rejected the forwarded mail because it was spam.

Short of not forwarding to gmail, anything I can do so that this results in 
dropping the mail (the 'wrong' thing) instead of trying to generate the 
appropriate bounce (the 'right' thing)?
