It is also important to notice, that VBounce does not declare bounces as SPAM! It raises a rule of ANY_BOUNCE_MESSAGE, which can be used to move the messages to a "Bounce" directory or such. In my /etc/maildroprc is a record # SpamAssassin detected that this is a bounce of some kind. if ( /^X-Spam-Status.*ANY_BOUNCE_MESSAGE/ ) { xfilter "reformail -a'X-Bounce: Yes '" } and later all "X-Bounce: Yes" items are directed to "Joe Job Bounces" folder. Maybe complicated out of context that X-Bounce, but the point is that Regexp: X-Spam-Status.*ANY_BOUNCE_MESSAGE -- You have to deal that ANY_BOUNCE_MESSAGE, as SpamAssassin does not mark bounces as Spam (gets only 0.1 - 0.3 points) which is the right thing to do in my opinion.
