[seq] works like it does in the shell. [0-9] means match one decimal digit. [A-Z] means match a single, uppercase letter. [aeiou] means match any lowercase vowel, and so forth. If all of the addresses begin with 'bounceto', you could make your match a little tighter by using '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. If the first number after the 'bounceto' is always three digits, you could use '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. You could set the action to 'deliver=~/mail/spambox' (instead of 'bounce') for a while and check if you're accidentally catching anything important. If not, switch it back to 'bounce'. Other than that, I don't think there's any way to have TMDA "guess" if it might be one of those messages.
