That would backfire on you quickly and you'd end up being blocked for spamming yourself. Only if you determine that a message is spam during delivery, it makes sense to reject a message (so that senders of false positives get notified), other than that you have nothing to gain by bouncing a message and effectively you become part of the problem as a spam reflector (which will attract more spam, rather than lower it).

It would be a nice feature that during spam reporting the message - optionally - could be bounces back as there was no such address on the server. Thank you for your consideration.
