Have you considered running spamassassin or similar to cut down on this
noise?

I run SA through procmail, then use tmda to look for the SA headers and
route flagged mail to a spam mailbox.

This has two advantages:
1) You're not faced with thousands of messages in the queue
2) You're not wasting everyone's bandwidth by sending confirmation
requests to forged addresses.

Using SA, tmda rules, etc, I only get a message or two in my
pending queue every day.
