If  the  only way you can find to slow the delivery of spam (which I'm
guessing  is  what  you mean by protecting resources) is to completely
deprive  users  of  the  ability to receive bounce notifications, your
anti-spam measures are misguided and your R&D insufficient.

I  doubt that any non-technical council would come up with the idea of
blocking null senders without prompting from a sysadmin.

A  feature?  Well,  better cut them off from the feature of sending to
the  outside world via SMTP, since you're not actually supporting SMTP
end-to-end.
