If I decide to bounce email using procmail, I want to make sure I have all

Problem is, I don't know what they are.... where can I find a complete
list of what should be there?

Bounce messages should always be sent to the envelope sender address.
This can generally be found in either the Return-Path: header or as the
first field of the "From " pseudo-header.  The Errors-To: header should
be IGNORED.

As for what to generate, check out rfc1892's description of the
multipart/report content-type.
