I would like it better if blocked users received undeliverable messages.

As someone who sends email newsletters, I would definitely prefer that too. I don't want to send messages to people who don't want them or aren't going to read them.
As someone who doesn't like spam, I'd rather see the spammers pay for sending the emails even if I never see them.
You could mailbomb someone by getting spam sent with their address as a from address. Then they'd be hellbanned from the internet and mailbombed at the same time. This could become a problem.
