Yet your talking about automating something that will send just those
kinds of replies. The chances of the MX being able to do something about
some spammer forging their domain are pretty much zero. The chances that
you're going to convince them to throw you in their border router when
you flood their mailbox with the warnings you're describing are probably
much higher.
You're warnings might make you feel better, but they will probably
be considered just another form of abuse by the receiver.
