How and why do you want to bounce email?
Sendmail and friends automatically bounce mail if the recipient address
is unknown. I don't recommend bouncing spam as the sender address is
likely to be fake and you could accidentally mailbomb someone innocent.
And it's probably not OT if you're using Linux mail servers ;-)
