You should probably do something about those bounces then. You can/should
1) verify the recipient address, possibly with callouts, so that you don't
accept mail that you have to bounce later; and/or
2) verify the sender address, possibly with callouts, so that you don't accept
mail that can't be bounced in case delivery fails.

"Only a relay mailserver" you say. Do you mean it's a frontend for another
mailserver, a secondary MX mainly bombarded with spam, or an outbound relay
(smarthost)?
