By far most double bounces I see are spam with bogus return addresses
listed for old email addresses here. Those I ignore. Some are for broken
list servers, some of which don't accept bounce messages. Sometimes I
write filter rules for those to forward future crap to their postmaster
and list administrator addresses. Occasionally I spot bad forward files
(that system runs sendmail) that need to be fixed and do something to them
so that mail will get delivered. Sometimes I see stuff where it looks like
a misconfigured browser is being used. I haven't had much luck explaining
that to the end users when I have been able to figure out who was sending
the mail, so I usually don't bother to tell them about it anymore.
