Actually its usually MAILER-DAEMON@...

Any why should they need to reply? If you think they should, you could
have your system filter add a "Reply-To: postmaster@...", but I wouldnt.

I used to get replies people sent to bounce messages. Most of the time
the bounce was becuase they couldnt type - there would be messages that
people tried to send to "<something@???>" or some other such complete
stupidity.

Half the time they thought they were replying to the person they sent
the message to, and the other half they didnt seem to understand such
plain simple things as "no such user" or "no such domain". I have long
since decided that I do NOT want to receive any such replies. If its our
customer/user, they can call tech support if they are too stupid to
understand plain english, and if its someone off our system, its not my
problem.
