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.

I need to make a bunch of emails bounce in different ways so I can check to see if my script to read a mail box full of bounced emails will work properly.
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.
