Well, in this case, how about avoiding bounces completely? Bouncing to a
forged sender address is not the most clever (re)action these days.
Spammers and viruses abuse this succesfully (you pointed this very

I belive that deleting (maybe dropping, tarpitting or deffering -
adjust to taste) these bad bad messages is a better idea.
