There is no way to bounce them back: the spammers use invalid return addresses 95% of the time so bounces go to innocent third parties. That used to work, but now it almost never does. Web searching for Mac software is a bad idea because the PC pages swamp the Mac pages. There are mac pages out there, but you have to know where to look. Try www.macsearch.com. Automatic spam killing software is available from Goo Software, http://www.goosoftware.com/ It is called "Spam Blaster" -- "Ethical Relativity: The exact same universal laws are always true, and apply to you no matter what your frame of reference is."
