If you have a previous bounce message then something like Mail Redirect
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/550> extension in
thunderbird might work. You simply bounce the email to yourself, or from
one account to another.
I've used it quite often to test procmail rules, and the like.
Although, as I use gmail for my email I don't have to worry about my
inbox being full.
Also, if you can give us more details about the actual email server then
maybe there could be a way to induce the required bounce messages,
somewhat like the eicar <http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm>
file is a semi-standardised anti-virus test. Then again, I run exim4,
and haven't bothered looking at trying to force certain bounce messages
without reconfiguring the server.

Does any body know how I can do this.
If you have access to a Mac, in Apples Mail.app there is a feature for
bouncing messages that show up like a real bounce. All you need are
the donor e-mails to bounce from.
Just keep in mind that when you "bounce" a message in mail.app it
removes the e-mail... So I wouldn't go bouncing lvoe letters from your
girl! ;)
If you don't have such access, let me know, and I can probably help
out with it.
