we have exchange server and antispam device this device will reject any email contains a spam or sent to a spamed mail, I want to configure this device not to reject the email just to notify the receiver that this mail conatins a spam is this idea is good, or it will be so heavy for the exchange server to handel these spams.





 
That's not a good idea. You'd basically be validating that an email address is valid - something the spammers are looking for.
