I don't know about that. If I was on the receiving end of such stuff,
and there wasn't *too* much of it, I think I would configure our
spamassassin to rate the rejection reports as spam and reject them.
If the situation was too bad for that (as it has sometimes been for
antivirus rejection reports when the virus was faking our domain as
sender) then I'd blacklist the envelope sender address of the reports,
to avoid putting too much load on our spamassassin.

I'd rate that as a clear case of email abuse, as meaasured against
current good-practice.
