And no, I'm not part of the company or anything, I just do think it's a very cool program.
Bouncebacks are generally considered worthless, since (a) most of the send addresses are faked anyway, and (b) there's no additional cost to the sender if the message bounces. And, in the case of email viruses, bouncebacks just increase the load on the mail servers for no good reason.
