Regarding the backscatter filter, the manual mentions the quarantine...

What are backscatter emails? When spammers or worms send emails with forged sender addresses, sites are flooded with undeliverable mail notifications. These emails are called backscatter emails. Bounce message score (0 – means disabled) Define the spam score for detected backscatters Whitelist bounce relays

Add your valid bounce relays Note:

Please test your settings and review your quarantine to check false positives

What will happen if the quarantine is not being used ?

if you do not use the quarantine, the emails are processed as defined in the rulesystem. e.g. if the spamscore is above 5 the subject changes, the email header can change and the email will be delivered to the mailbox.
