More Phishing

Yesterday, I received yet another one. I decided that since it was still going on, I should report it. I forwarded the email (as an attachment, to preserve full headers) to abuse@<bank's domain>, with a note explaining what it was. I then went to bed.
This morning, I checked my email, only to find a failure notice from my mail server, informing me that the bank's mail server had rejected my message:
