Yeah, the postmaster / system administrator of the machine where you are
receiving the spam. He might not appreciate it ...
What is the exact path the bounce follows? Does it look to the
Return-Path: field (often inexistent or as much crap as the From:)?
Effectively, yes. The bounce tries to go back to the sender as reported
to your MTA in the SMTP conversation, which normally is the same as the
address in the Return-Path:. In most cases, when that fails, a copy of
the bounced bounce is sent to the local postmaster.
