Your best solution here is to verify recipient addresses for your own
domains at SMTP time. Then fake (non existant) addresses on your
domains will not be accepted passing the problem up to the person
sending you the bounces :-)
If the bounces are coming to a small number of addresses in your
domains, and you do not wish or are not able to do proper verification
on incoming mail you could specifically block those addresses out.
