That depends on how the bounce system is implemented.
Some administrators interface their mail transport agent (sendmail, exim

to their spam detector, so that during mail receipt, spam is detected,
the message is refused at that point. The sending mailserver receives
the bounce, and (hopefully) does not try again later.
