That is quite right. I too get such bounces from time to time. I
remember this crap Symantec Mail Security shit - silently hope it could
be configured to not bounce to innocent victims of sender faking worms.
There are still a lot of systems around in the world where the
responsible administrators left to see that nowadays bouncing incoming
mail they discover as having virus/worm freight shouldn't be bounced.
Reject the mail with a valid DSN during DATA phase but not later after
acceptance and then bouncing to who seems to be the sender.
