The fourth option there says: * Use your mail client's bounce/resend/redirect functionality to send the spam messages to [email protected] > So it looks as if resending a spam message to > [email protected] is OK, although "bouncing" the message back > to the server is very much not, even if your MUA can do that. I'm pretty sure the wiki says it's OK. I cited it right up there. To be clear, what we're talking about here is what mutt does when you press the "b" key. It queues up a message for delivery, where the envelope recipient address is one that you specify by typing it in, and the entire message (header + body) is exactly what you received, with no modifications made by the MUA. Mutt calls this action "bounce", but I would not use the phrase "back to the server" to describe it. It's more like a forwarding action, because you're passing the message along to a new recipient.
