I repeat, you can't bounce a message at the MUA. It's like not answering
a phone call after you've answered the phone. You maybe can return to
sender, but it's not a bounce if it's been accepted by your MTA. If it's
been accepted by your MTA, to the spammer, he's got what he wanted.

If it's been accepted by your MTA, then no matter what you do with it,
it's too late, the spammer has in his eyes won.
