Instead of: Reply with remove (spam-killer)

Hi,

I noticed that some spam message have an
X-Header that says:
X-ERRORS-TO 

So that email errors get sent to them ?  Also,
some use "remove" requests to confirm the
existence of your address.

What-if ?:  You generate a fake "bounce" message
saying"  Undelivereable and including the offending
mail.  (Making it look as if it came from the postmaster
of your provider).   Sending it to the address 
specified either in the X-error header or the remove
address.  (In the hope that the spam software removes the apparently
false address from the list).

Has anyone here experimented with this technique ?
