As the first bounce gets rewritten to have an empty sender address, your
second cancelmsg will generate a double bounce which should not be
delivered to your other mailserver but to the postmaster account on your
courier server.

I don't know if you forward this account, but you shouldn't as
double-bounces normally cannot be forwarded due to their special sender
address - and this is intentional to prevent loops.
Even if you have forwarded your postmaster account ... you can
temporarily redirect this forward to a local account where the message
will be delivered and therefore disappear from the queue.

I wouldn't do this.
