Uhm, do you really mean bounce (i.e., accept message and send a bounce
message to the sender) or reject (i.e., reject message in smtp dialog,
the sending MTA will usually create the bounce message).

In either case, use the empty sender address (the message will be frozen
then, but you can disable that) or to something like
devnull@??? and discard mail for this address (e.g.
"devnull: discard" in your aliases file).
