It's better not to bounce it,  as most of the e-mail "from" fields are
forged these days.   You're bouncing it back to someone who may not have
actually sent it.   Why not just re-direct it?     I have each of my
IMAP users set up with a spam mailbox where all spam goes.   I have  a
cron bot that goes around and deletes everything in that spam folder
after a  few weeks.     Let's not forget that sometimes--not often--but
sometimes SpamAssassin will get  a false positive.   You don't really
want to bounce that,  do you?
