Instead of denying messages I have taken to discarding them. I do deny what
appears to be spam (just so I have sent a formal message back saying I don't
want it) but viruses I just chuck down a black hole (after TEERGRUBBING the
sender).
I seems to me kinder on the internet not to clog up the system any more than I
really need to, and since, as the first link says, most of the bounce
messages don't go back to the originator
