If your bouncing after receiving the terminating dot, then you've allready received the message so what would be the use in deleting it? You might as well load it into your favourite mail reader and delete from there. Personally, I have a cron setup at calzone.oit.unc.edu that regularly "peek's" in my mailbox, removing any UCE/spam mail it finds. It keeps it locally however just in case it removes something it should not, but deletes after 72 hours.
