Unfortunately we do occasionally get a legitimate message blocked even using really mild tests, and it was decided that we needed to send a notification to the sender of the message, even though 99% of the time it is all just junkmail with a invalid return address. Is there any possibility you could make declude send the bounce messages directly bypassing Imail completely, and then just send them once, that way server resources wouldn't be tied up trying to send them multiple times throughout the day and then declude could just ignore the bounced bounce messages.
