If you are also Postmaster for a SendMail site, these will be bounces
from users with an invalid return addresses on them. You could try
forcing userid on your outbound mail, and stamping each message with an
appropriate Errors-To header.

If at first you don't succeed, try a shorter bungee. When in trouble,
when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. The two great secrets
of success are: don't tell anyone everything that you know.
