The thing is that most spam bots will not accecpt a bounce message. 
Different than accepting or not the message at the beginning.  In any
case, the problem I have is to get a valid user list

I know that.  Again, the problem is I don't have a way to get a valid
list of users updated automatically...  What's odd is that before, the
mail servers would not be able to process enough mail and I would get
messages piled up on sendmail-tx.  Now, amavisd can't process them fast
enough...

New hardware and postfix...  And hopefully maybe the mail admins would
actually run this instead of me....
