Since the sender-address of most spam/viruses is forged, you're very likely sending the bounce to an unrelated victim. That's not a nice thing to do. Why not configure your mailserver to just /dev/null spam/viruses that originate from your debian.org address. You could put this in your .procmailrc: :0 |/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f'<>' [EMAIL PROTECTED] .. then mail will be forwarded with the empty envelope-sender, which means no bounces will be generated.
