I'm using spamd/spamc via fetchmail and procmail.  When 
SpamAssassin flags an email as spam, is there any way for me to 
'bounce' that mail back to the sender as if I never received it?

Right now I have it filter spam into a separate mailbox which I 
occasionally glance through and delete.  But even this is a waste 
of time for me, since I probably only get one false positive in 
every ten thousand spams.  I want to 'bounce' *all* spam back to 
the sender.

If it really was a false positive and a legit message, then maybe 
the sender will think to send an 'are you there?' email.  (whereas 
if I simply trashed the message, the sender would never know it 
arrived)  Maybe bouncing spam will even convince some spammers that 
I don't exist, and I'll get off their lists.  Reporting spam 
message-by-message via SpamCop is no longer effective enough to be 
worth the effort.

I know that email can only be bounced at the server level, before 
the server accepts it for delivery... but I know that some email 
programs (like Mac OS X Mail) can 'fake' a bounce message that 
looks authentic.
