This is untrue. For the cheapest classes of mail, (e.g., "bulk rate") it is not returned, it is discarded.

It is true.

I shred those bulk mailings, but I was referencing the many Junk but non-bulk class letters I receive. It makes no sense to write return to sender on a bulk-mailer.

While much Junk mail is sent via bulk rate, Junk in this context refers to the content not to the mailing class of bulk.
