Alas, spammers usually forge the return address.

Also, my last email client, PMMail 2000, used "bounce" to mean
forwarding a message as if it were being sent direct. The To: value is
replaced with the new recipients, and the original From: is preserved. I
think a new header, Apparently-from, is appended. This makes it look
like the message went straight from the original sender to the new
recipient.

I usually used this to forward jokes that didn't need cleaning up, or to
forward misaddressed stuff to the correct recipient.
