Another possibility is to [B]ounce the whole message but then you won't
be able to comment on it.

If the recipient is a machine (automated bayes-learning etc) than this
is what you went.

I have a spamassassin script learning from messages to spam at mydomain and
hamnotspam at mydomain, and bouncing is the right way to send messages there.
