Can I configure it so that these don't >come to me at all? TMDA and mailer daemons have a couple things in common. One is that they send mail from an envelope sender of <>, and two is that they don't reply to an envelope sender of <>. Those are the rules, made to be broken. There's a config variable (whose name I forget) that you can set to tell TMDA what address to use as an envelope sender for outgoing challenges. By default it sends from <> so that bounce messages don't come back. If you've set that option, that may be why you're getting bounces. Try turning it off. Otherwise, delivery failures shouldn't come back. Some mailer daemons, however, behave badly, and send their bounce messages to the From or Reply-To fields on incoming messages. You may get these because they hit your whitelist (some people whitelist <> so they can get bounce messages) or because the mailer FURTHER behaves badly by having a real envelope sender (instead of <>). Then TMDA challenges that envelope sender and gets another delivery failure back as a confirmation. When that arrives, the original bounce message is delivered. It's hard to tell what's really going on without looking at one of the messages.
