it depends on how it is 'returned' to you. if the returning mail server
includes the headers from the original message you could trace them... at
least as well as you can trace headers from any other spammers that have
probably been faked. but in some cases the returning mail server doesn't
send the original headers, just a new 'your message undeliverable' message
with nothing to indicate what was sent... in those cases you are out of luck
unless you want to try to get the rejecting domain admin to trace the
original message for you... thats probably not worth it unless there is a
huge problem somewhere.
