My philosophy is that:
Mail is never ever discarded, it is bounced and quarantined for a few days.
I have never had a complaint from a bounce back on mail I bounced. Ever.
Spam/Virus emails aren't bounced off to their fake sender address by malware.

Of course I have some mail that is relayed through our main mx mail
servers and when I bounce it, it hits their queue, and sticks.
They just delete it, after it cannot bounce to a valid address.
