Unless your /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto says other than
postmaster, this is appropriate. However, that doesn't clear the
messages that have already been forwarded from postmaster to
elsewhere.

Well, if they cause that much trouble, there are ways to delete
them. But I'd think they're mostly harmless, unless there's too
many of them. (In that case, search the archives of this list; there
have been way too many questions "How to delete all messages to
person/host ****?" answered.)

I personally don't think they give you much benefits; what do you
do if you get temporary DNS error? Temporarily reject the mail? I
wouldn't like to see much of that. However, there _are_ cases
where it can help, I believe. And I also think that any mail
administrator is smart enough to count the odds and evens :-)
