In my honest opinion, bounces should always go to the envelope sender
address. E.g. the one specified at SMTP time, the one you've verified to
have MX-records using verify = sender.
A DSN originates from a null sender to stop loops, normal email should
(again in my honest opinion) never be sent from a null sender address.
So i drop every DSN to addresses that are 'protected' by SRS and that
doesn't meet my SRS policy.

I'd say SORBS.

Better would be to implement a whitelist in your SRS-check, like i did.
You'll find it hard to convince people to change their setup because you
have a problem.
I can whielist certain hosts so they pass the test. In my case it was
necessary because of broken MTA's doing callouts using null sender
address where they should've used postmaster@???. F.e.
the mysql mailinglistserver does that.
