You're looking at a server log entry, not a bounce message.

Only if the offending message was offered by a relay MTA, then it
will generate a DSN that could be collateral spam. But that would be
its fault for accepting the message for relay in the first place, not
your's for rejecting an unwanted message.

It helps with collateral spam. But that doesn't make it a good thing
to do...
