... except that most spams are sent with forged addresses, sometimes
forged from an innocent victim's address who will be bombarded with your
"I bit-bucketed someone else's spam" messages.

Either silently discard (or in RFC-speak "delivered to appropriate
(trash) account") or reject during the SMTP transaction, a la:

Dec  8 00:37:22 soyokaze postfix/smtpd[32617]: 3FB3F626A4: reject: RCPT from 
unknown[210.73.66.17]: 550 <unknown[210.73.66.17]>: Client host rejected: We cannot 
accept such suspicious mail - contact us via our web form at 
http://www.example.com/not_formmail.php; from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]> proto=SMTP helo=<smtp.yayuncun.com.cn>

Reject = good; bounce = bad; bounce != reject.

hth,
