Assuming you're referring to this...

...no, it wouldn't.  In MIMEDefang, action_bounce doesn't actually 
generate a bounce message, it issues an SMTP reject.

That means instead of telling the connecting server, "OK, I received the 
message, you can disconnect now," it says, "Sorry, I'm not accepting 
this message, please disconnect and don't bother trying to send it again."

(Side note: when responding to something, it always helps to quote the 
relevant chunk of the previous message.  That way people know which 
message you're replying to.)
