Argh, DON'T do that!

It's too late to bounce, the server has already accepted the message.
You won't fool any machine that they've attempted to send a message to a
non-existent mailbox.

Nearly all spam has forged headers, so you're bouncing the spam onto
some other victim.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
