I don't know what the correct terminology is for my question - please adjust my wording as needed.

When a user mistypes a remote e-mail address (not that THAT ever happens!), the result is typically either a "user unknown", "invalid recipient", or "host or domain not found" message. At least for MY system, with MY configuration (however flawed it may be), this results in a couple messages floating in the send queue with these statuses. Periodically, I'll check for such items, notify my users of a problem, and delete them from the queue.

I do have a bounce_template_file, and I've TRIED to make it a bit more informative - but my users still cross their eyes and call me and complain that OUR mail server is broken!

Is there a more advanced option that can give individual messages instead of a generic bounce message? Something that might parse the rejection and give specific advice to the computer illiterate?

Also, is there any e-mail interface for canceling messages? So that if a slightly more competent user actually READS the bounce message, determines that they spelled it wrong - they can tell the mail server to cancel the send?
