Find out why they'r there. The most likely source is undeliverable bounces -
you're accepting mail (probably spam or virus backscatter) for unknown
addresses in your domain and sending bounces to forged sender addresses.
Implement recipient verification in your SMTP RCPT ACL and they'll magically
stop happening, and you'll be a better net citizen into the bargain.
