Reject, don't bounce or blackhole. Bounces will go to victims of sender
address spoofing. Blackholing will leave senders ignorant of their error,
and that can be costly - there's at least one case in UK law where a
company lost a legal arbitration because they blackholed the notification
of the arbitration case.
Rejected mails will be bounced back the the sender by their MTA, except in
the case os spam when they'll effectively be blackholed by the spambot.
