May I suggest that rather than causing bounces that people just discard
these malicious emails?
The traffic which hits my mail server is about 40% malicious bounces
caused by various virii and spam using random usernames in my domains.
Normally these don't hit a known address.
However, as of this morning, malicious bounces are hitting my real
addresses, some of them from exim servers configured to bounce mails
containing bad attachments.
Sometimes bouncing messages causes _more_ problems than simply
discarding them.
