By using something other than 'postmaster' in the fallback. I
don't have this automated; but I've occasionally manually changed
the envelope sender of a frozen bounce message to 'devnull@???',
with an /etc/aliases entry for 'devnull: :blackhole:'. So if they
try to send it back, it falls into the black hole instead of looping.

I have often thought it would be nice to have a way to configure
that as an automatic final fallback for bounce delivery.
