I have recently installed a complete courier system with maildrop + SpamAssassin. I've been working on maildrop filters, and would like some pointers to sample maildroprc code (assuming that this is maildrop's responsibility) that generates a custom bounce.

Essentially, I'd like to bounce the message with some stern statement about how it has been marked as spam, and if it really really isn't spam the author should do something about it.

By the time the mail filter runs, the message has already been accepted by the mail server. These days all spam uses forged return addresses, so the only thing that bouncing spam will accomplish is that it'll clog your mail queue, and/or annoy some innocent victim out there.
