Bouncing Spam

HI-
The Apple mail application has a nice feature for dealing with spam. You
can "bounce" a message back to its origin with the (false) information
that your email account does not exist ("User unknown"). It doesn't always
work, but in some cases the system sending out the spam will remove your
"incorrect" email address from its list, resulting in a reduction in
future spam. (My wife tested this theory and did observe a reduction in
spam.)
I'm wondering whether a similar feature exists in pine. I know there is a
bounce command in pine - but it works differently. It simply forwards the
message to a new email address as if it never came to you. This is not the same
thing as Apple's bounce.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
ET
