This is an empty address, use it in ACLs as "recipients=:..."
or match as regex ^$, or check by some other way.

Pointless. Considerable amount of junk traffic consists of real
and valid bounces, generated to spam mails with forged addresses.
If you have several old domains with old addresses, some of them
might be used by spammers, and you would get bounces to these
addresses when other sites bounce spam mails.
