- configure your server to detect viruses and spam. In short, minimise
the case when your server passes mail that the remote server detects as
spam or virus.

- there will always be cases when your filter misses spam/viruses that
are detected by remote servers. This is not an issue unless it happens
too often.

- if it happens too often,
1- stop forwarding mail
2- see why it happens.

oh and forget about playing with bounces. The problem is not in bounce
generation and routing. It's in spam & virus forwarding.
