[NMLUG] now that the spam is under control...

What can we do about the spam-bot bounce backs?

Once I cleared up the technical difficulties that made SpamAssassin stop 
working for about three weeks, the spam went away.  Now, it seems that 
many corporations have gotten on the spam wagon, and they're rejecting 
mail back to "sender."  That's "sender" as the e-mail envelope says, anyway.

I have the great privilege of having a slew of publicly published e-mail 
addresses.  The worms/trojans/virii are using e-mail addresses pulled 
from the web cache to use as the 'from' address.  Now, my mailbox is 
filling up with these rejects.  I have brewed a couple of generic 
procmail recipes to handle the most generic rejects, but these new "spam 
firewalls" are proliferating pretty fast, and allow for customization.

Any thoughts?
