We are sorry for the backscatter, but we are mandated under AR 25-2
to send notification if a message is not delivered to the recipient.

"Fine, but send it to the actual sending site (presumably to their
postmaster), not to the forgery victim!"

If they feel they have to send backscatter spam, I feel I have to
refuse it.  If they make it difficult to do that without refusing all
their mail, tough noogies.

Of course, until a substantial fraction of the net takes that sort of
stance, such misbehaviour will continue to be endemic. :(
