Can I make a fake "Bounce" in Apple Mail?

Because Apple no longer supports "Bounce" in Apple Mail, how can I send a fake bounce message, so that certain people who refuse to stop sending emails will think my address has changed and stop sending? HELP, please.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), 2013 - 27"

If it's spam you're getting, not messages for which you know the authentic origin, this won't work. The "from" addresses in spam are always faked/spoofed, or sent from some hapless user whose computer has been enslaved by a botnet. All bouncing will do is confuse this poor person, who really isn't responsible for the spam.


And if by some unlikely chance the spammer used an authentic return address, all you're accomplishing is letting them know you've received their spam.
