Right. Best not to generate bounces to spam after you have received it because if you do you become a source of spam yourself. > The most of the SPAM message will have forged FROM address, So the server > has to deals with returned bounce messages also.

The problem is that your server would become a source of backscatter spam because of the bounced messages to forged from addresses. *I* for one would blacklist your server because of this. Search the web for backscatter spam and read about the problems that it causes before attempting to set up a server that bounces spam messages. Rejecting at the SMTP level is the better way to go.
