Yes, you can. You can set up a special director and/or router to handle
bounce messages, by making them conditional on
senders = :
i.e. check for an empty sender. If you place these before the normal
ones, they will act first. You probably also need to test for bounces
generated locally, unless you also want to throw away bounces coming in
from outside. The standard "was this locally generated" test is
condition = ${if eq{$sender_host_address}{}{yes}{no}}
i.e. check for an empty $sender_host_address.
If what you are *really* trying to do is to get rid of stuck bounce
messages for failed addresses in spam mail, first check out
receiver_verify and sender_verify.
