Few servers bounce legitimate mail anymore— 99.99% of servers I've
encountered will reject messages at receipt. Its become a fairly
standard practice as an anti-spam dictionary-attack protocol.
Bounced messages that do exist overwhelmingly come from forged spam
addresses and the occasional misconfigured server. I think its been
about 5 years since I've gotten a bounced email for a correct reason.
