Quite likely, yes.

All it takes is a spammer sending you a spam "from" the address of a SC
spam trap, and your NDR will go to that spam trap, thus getting you
listed.

If you know that the source of an e-mail is blackisted then don't accept 
the mail in the first place. REJECT it at the SMTP stage, don't BOUNCE 
it. Under any circumstances. All you will do is contribute to the abuse 
of/on the 'Net.
