Or, what if a spammer uses your spamtrap address as the return-path at an
innocent third-party MTA and for any reason the mail bounces?

We used to see this occasionally, back when spammers would pick a random address off of their target list and use it as the sender. We started filtering out anything that looked like a bounce using procmail.

I'm sure it still happens, but we've stopped tracking it. The spamtraps get plenty of input without it!
