You can never be shure that no Mail is falsely trapped as
Spam (For example: erroneously listet on an RBL-List for only one day).

Great Idea... I will keep in mind

That´s partly correct...
The Spammers also search for mailadresses in newsgroups, websites, etc.
When you send a bounce message, send the bounce with another mailadress,
not with your private... For example, create a new mailbox and use
bounce at company.com instead.

But in future you, or your users will have much more "short text
notification messages" in the Mailbox instead of Bounce-Messages...
To be sure you have realy NO false positives, all users must read all of
this messages!
Because no sender is warned that his message is trapped as spam, and maybe
deleted... So the sender thinks the message would have arrived.
