In that same regard, what happens to an incoming email message when
"delete
it from server" is chosen?

The bottom line is that I want to know WHEN (and how) an incoming email
message can be bounced BACK to the sender.

Once a domain gateway mail server has accepted email for delivery, there
is
no proper way to "bounce" a message back. There is no way for the server
to
know the actual originating source of the message because the SMTP "MAIL
FROM:" email address is easily forged; you may wind up annoying the victim
of the email address forgery.

If you have control over your domain gateway mail server, you can
configure
it to refuse to accept email from certain sources; otherwise all that you
can do is use filters to sort the email in your mailbox.
