Do you use RBLs? If not, you might consider using them. Search for the
ones which could suit your needs.

If you use '!@' to your badmailfrom control file you'll still receive
messages with an empty Return-Path: field (a.k.a. null-envelope
sender). And bouncing messages containing an empty Return-Path is
usually bad and less-effective than expected.
But, to answer to your question strictly, I guess it is a good idea to
to refuse messages which do not contain @ in the Return-Path. In any
case, try to avoid misdirected bounces as much as possible.
