Bounce someone's email?

[TnT]

A friend of mine asked me if it's possible to bounce back someone's email without running a personal email server.

Only the mail server accepts/denies the mail. If you don't control the mail server, you can't cause a bounce.

I certainly can, but that's one of the nice things I've found in Mail (OS X) that I haven't seen in other clients. So it is possible, but of course, a bounce coming from a server is always going to be more effective.

I used to have de-spammer a while back that kind of faked a bounced message, I can't recall what it was called but it did seem to stop some repeat spammers, but in the long run it it was a pain in the ass to use.

Some mail clients that are run on/close to the server offer a manual bounce function.
Pine offer this, as does the horde imp webmail client.

Okay I found out more info:

Person A harrasses person B via email. Person B would like to do something to person A that wouldn't be quite re-harrassment but more like make A wonder if something is wrong with her computer because she wouldn't know any better. Hence the bounce thing.

Any other ideas?
