Do not. "<>" is the legitimate envelope sender for bounce messages and

but it is nevertheless harmfull to block "<>".
Nonsense. I block all mail from <> and have done for 2 years (maybe
more). There's no harm been done, and for my little domain with 2
users I'm blocking up to 30k emails a day that way.
