OT Boincing Spam

[ChupaCabra]

My boss is twisting off today because he got 350 messages marked [SPAM] 
over the weekend.  His Reaction is to "Bounce em all, Let the isps sort 
it out."  I tried explaining about forged headers and the myriad of 
other methods spammers use to look like they come from someplace else.  
Apparantly he feels like I am blowing smoke.

Does anyone have some good links fo why it is not a good idea to bounce 
spam?  I am getting nowhere with my speil.  Untill he hears it from 
somewhere else I am in s--t city.

I can see where he gets the idea in that I still see people on the 
internets saying bouncing it is good but in all my readings I have 
learned better.  Or does anyone think bouncing all spam is a good idea.

Thanks ahead.
