Even  if  you  stick  with the situation as-is, I wouldn't worry about
being  accused  of  spamming  just because you send bounce messages on
so-called  "Joe  Jobs" (where real, but uninvolved, senders' addresses
are used by spammers). In some cases, such bounces can help inform the
recipient  about the impersonation and allow them to pursue actions to
shut  down the Joe Jobbers' use of their address. However, the bounces
can  consume a lot of gateway resources;, depending on your volume; in
a more ideal setup, you'd be running anti-spam services on the gateway
itself,  and  messages determined to be spam would never be bounced at
all.

> How to prevent the "unknown user" sending?

If  you  wanted  to  kill all User unknown: messages (though including
those  to  involved  and legitimate senders) you could use an Outbound
Rule. Alternately, you could dump a user list from your mailbox server
and  import  it as an remote alias list into your gateway, as you'd do
on any gateway platform.
