Now, just one more option is needed:  Mail to unknown users - drop.

Forwarding to admin creates admin headaches, as we know.

Bouncing mail is simple and seemingly polite, but it also informs the
spammer that they've at least reached a functioning mail server. All that is
required is to start mining for valid usernames, and that is exactly what
some of them do. Dropping messages to unknown users rather than bouncing
them has a similar effect to a firewall dropping packets instead of denying
them.
