If you have a secondary/backup mail server that is accepting all mail then I would think that routing unknown to NULL might be a good way to not send bounces

If you only have one server and it is SIMS then it should not send a bounce back to the fake return address it should only tell the sending server that the address is not valid.

Just one more time for form's sake and then I'll stop beating my head
against the wall: For reasons already given earlier in this thread, it
really is better to _not_ route UNKNOWN to NULL and to just let SIMS bounce
messages to unknown addresses and tempban address harvesters as
appropriate.
