I don't see how this is morally any better then sending DSNs from the maildrop filtering stage of delivery.
It's morally better for the simple fact that you won't be the one crapping into the victim's mailbox. By rejecting the spam during SMTP, it's the sending mail server that will be responsible for bouncing the message, not you.
It's not your problem any more.
