It's not your problem. Any service that blacklists your domain based
on forged email headers is broken, and any mail servers that
drop/bounce messages based on data from broken blacklist services are
also broken. Hence, it's their problem.


So perhaps a better approach for me would be to redirect all bounced messages to some bounced account, and periodically review that account's contents to find any legitimate bounces.

I just wish there was an automated way to do this that did not require manual intervention.
