I just reread my message.  Reject is good behavior. Bouncing is not.  At least in my opinion.  Replace reject below with bounce and you have my correct opinion.

Sorry,

But the reject may NOT be going to the server/service that sent the virus.

You received a bad email from hackedu...@example.com from server mail.badisp.ru

However the mx record for example.com is mail.example.com, not the sending server or ISP.

Now you have annoyed somebody that had nothing to do with the bad email sent.  This is quite common with any bad email.

So please explain, why should I not do this, and why I should care about
a server that is delivering a spam message to mine?

You might not care about the server that sent a virus to you, but you
should care about the *apparent* sender, which has probably nothing to
do with this; so you should not bounce.

That is the problem of the server that is contacting mine. They should not be relaying such crap to me anyway.
