Depends how you do it.

If you reject during the SMTP conversation from the sending MTA, then you spare 
spam victims.  If the mail is legit, the sending MTA will generate a 
non-delivery-report to the sender.

On the other hand...

Once you've accepted responsibility for the mail (DATA ... OK) then your 
options are limited.  As you say, if you bounce spam after accepting it, you're 
annoying innocent third parties.
