Otherwise you could end up with direct marketing companies such as Doubleclick harvesting the IP addresses accessing their banner ads and then sending UCE to those people. Or for that matter, it could lead to a mass attack with someone sending UCE to every IP address allocated to an ISP. *Someone* probably will be using that IP and spammers clearly don't care who sees their spam. Otherwise I entirely agree with this. Bouncing a virus-infected email is worse than useless. It is active participation in the distribution of the worm and the damage to networks it is causing.
