You haven't made your issue perfectly clear.

Maybe you are talking about, combining the fact that you are 'thinking
about' an address being forged, presumably in the From, and you are also
'thinking about' something sending something, presumably a server
initiating a newmail addressed to a bogus From, none of which has been
mentioned by you yet, the following...

Then or therefore, if some server is newmailing you a delivery status
notification failed or DSN to some bogus From, then, if the question
about /that/ is if such a newmail addressed to a bogus From is
'acceptable', as opposed to reportable, then the answer is "No."

Or to manufacture a complete story all by myself who is guessing at what
you are not saying, "Can I report an abusive email which I receive from
a server which is creating a newmail addressed to my bogus From as a
delivery status notification failed - because that server accepted a
mail for delivery with my addy as a bogus From and then chose to notify
the bogus From about it with a DSN failed?"

Then the ansewr is "Yes."

Notice how much words I am having to make up for myself here because
your words are ambiguous.

If that 'acceptable' sentence is asking, "Can I spamcop report a server
which is emailing me delivery status notifications failed because my
addy or domain addy has been forged into a bogus From and that server is
accepting mails which are undeliverable which have my domain/addy in the
From, and then newmailing me about it."  Then, the answer would be
"Yes."

If the question is something else which hasn't yet been made clear here,
then you will have to ask that question more clearly and distinctly.

I have no idea what those words mean.

I have no idea what those words mean.

And I have no idea what those words mean.
