I have a whole stack of .procmail rules to chuck mail daemon bounces
regarding this crap to /dev/null.

(e.g., something found my address, and someone else's address on the 'net.
It began sending viruses/spam to that other person, using my address as
a forged 'To'.  When the mail bounces due to the address being gone,
the mailbox being over quota, or the user blocking mail from me, _I_ get them.
Total PITA.)
