Never bounce spam!
Never bounce spam to the return address!

In most cases, if the address is valid it is not the address of the spammer, but of some innocent bystander from the spammer's mailing list, who now not only have to get spam, but also bounce messages and complaints from people who don't understand how email works.

If you want to get back at the spammer, use spamcop.net to report the spam to the spammer's ISP (spamcop.net will find the spammer's service provider for you. It's not more than a few clicks for each spam reported, and you help shut down a spammer's account!)
