As per 5.4 in the TMDA FAQ (http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=all#5.4), I use dated address in my envelope header to insure I get bounces.
 
From the latest E-Mail worm, I've noted that I'm getting lots of bounces from messages I didn't actually send.  The rule in my incoming filter file, "from <> ok", is allowing these in.  I'd prefer not to get these.  But even bounces to my dated address is from <> ...
 
To not get these "fake" bounces, I'd like to do two things:
 
1) Have some rule in my incoming filter file that essentially says "If the address is dated, handle it now" (where "handle it" means to confirm if needed, or accept as is, based on if it's valid or not),
 
2) Change "from <> okay" to "from <> drop", and make sure that line is AFTER the rule for #1.
 
So, by doing this, if the bounce message actually came from me, it would be to a dated address, and would be processed (and delivered).  BUT if I didn't send it, I'd silently drop the message.
 
The problem: I don't know how to do #1 above.  Is this possible?  I've looked at the FAQ and docs and can't seem to find anything.
 
How do other folks disable bounces from messages they never actually sent?
 
    Thanks for your advice,
