You can get rid of your problem here by using the "errors_to" option on
the router. Set it to an email address on one of your internal domains
that is specially configured to accept everything without any checks.
A better solution is to take a subset of your "real mail" and move it
over to closed test network containing your testing server as the
destination and a source server pretending it's the rest of the
internet. You can setup wildcard DNS all pointing to the source server
so that your test rig thinks it's really on the net.
Make sure the subset includes all the test cases you want to test and
then .. let it loose.
Best part about that setup is you can reset it and run the entire lot
though again just to make sure nothing broke with the last edit.
