Bouncing, instead of refusing to accept, an e-mail is very complicated and
more or less impossible when it comes to spam; because almost every singel spam
arrives without a valid from-address. Usually it's the address of some other
innocent victim, or everything's /dev/null:ed.
Bouncing is a bad thing, but we all love to mess around with it every now and
then. ;)
