As another idea, if these are being generated as a result of spam sent
to non-existent addresses, you can eliminate that particular source by
reconfiguring your MTA to reject unknown addresses instead of bouncing
them. This may be a simple configuration parameter, or it may involved
replicating the user list from one machine to another, depending on your
setup.
