ditchbounces:
driver = redirect
senders = :
data = :blackhole:

But you may well be receiving bounces from *elsewhere* to the
reverse-path of the messages that you're sending. And if that's an
invalid address, then certain recipients will be rejecting the mail on
that basis anyway. So don't you (or at least the purported sender
address of the emails you're handling) have to cope with bounces
*anyway*?
