Marten, to have it work correctly you need to have a router to shadow
all mail, if it copies just the first router then other subsequent
unseen routers will bounce unrouteable addresses also. a router like

shadow_all:
 debug_print = "R: shadow delivery"
 driver = accept
 transport = shadow_delivery

and the transport (completely untested)

shadow_delivery:
 debug_print = "T: shadow transport"
 driver = appendfile
 file = /dev/null

Of course this will mean no messages will bounce. Correct messages will
be caught by correct routers, everything else will fall into the ether..
