The fourth option there says:

 * Use your mail client's bounce/resend/redirect functionality to send
   the spam messages to report-listspam@lists.debian.org

> So it looks as if resending a spam message to report-listspam@lists.debian.org is OK, although "bouncing" the message back to the server is very much not, even if your MUA can do that.

I'm pretty sure the wiki says it's OK.  I cited it right up there.

To be clear, what we're talking about here is what mutt does when you
press the "b" key.  It queues up a message for delivery, where the
envelope recipient address is one that you specify by typing it in,
and the entire message (header + body) is exactly what you received,
with no modifications made by the MUA.

Mutt calls this action "bounce", but I would not use the phrase "back
to the server" to describe it.  It's more like a forwarding action,
because you're passing the message along to a new recipient.
