They are bounce msgs from mailer-daemon, the mailer-daemon and no spammer 
every read the reject text.  better to make the msg say something useful to 
your log file reporter than to any human.

If a mailer-daemon sees its bounce-msg rejected with a 5xx, it will discard 
the msg.  (what else can it to with it?)
