If you can figure out how to bounce these back to the original *sender*
rather than the other hapless victim whose email address is in the From
or Reply-To header, then more power to you.

If you can't figure that out, then DO NOT bounce spam. All you'll do is
share your problem with that other victim, and the spammer will get twice
his money's worth for that one spam.

I drop ALL spam from three domains into my spamtrap to feed Bayes and my
corpus. My method probably wouldn't work for you, since my setup is (pick
one: crazy, strange, weird), but yes, it should be feasible.

How is SA called, and can you put another program into the stream which
will redirect spam to your spamtrap?
