You are wrong.  Sending newmails you are calling 'bounces' to forged
>From addresses is no longer acceptable server behavior.

rfc822 does not state that you should create a newmail and address it to
a bogus address.  rfc822 does not address the issue of forged From.
rfc822 was written in yesteryear before there was any such thing as SFC
or other such as domain keys to verify authenticity of source and did
not address the necessity to avoid abusive server behavior caused by
more forged From mail failures than real ones.

Talking about rfc822 isn't going to keep an abusive server from being
blocklisted.  If you will go to the faq I cited earlier
http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/329.html  Why are auto responders
bad?

you will see mention of that same 'rfc822 song and dance' and an answer.

// Q: Why not allow bounces? They are required by RFC822!  A: [...] it
is possible to avoid the situation under which they are required (see
above). So they aren't really required unless you have already 'painted
yourself into a corner.' //
