Unless you've actually _sent_ MAIL FROM:<nobody@???>
there's probably no reason for you to be accepting bounces to that
address either -- by rejecting them at SMTP time you'll not only get to
avoid dealing with them, but you'll also save others from accepting
faked messages either, if they bother with SMTP callouts.

 deny senders = :
      recipients = nobody@???
      message = This address never sends outgoing mail. The message you're trying to bounce is a fake.


Note that this is a viable approach _only_ if you never send mail from
that address, or from an address which is forwarded to nobody@...
