I must be missing something here. The important part of a bounce
messages is not the destination, but the *sender*. Which must always be
empty — MAIL FROM:<>.
Such messages can never trigger a mail loop, because they must *never*
trigger any kind of autoreply.
So even if your user were to send *himself* a message, it should
generate a bounce. That bounce is undeliverable too, but that *doesn't*
in turn produce another one.
This is the very basic principle of how bounces work; if you are
violating this somehow, then you need to fix *that*, not play with
rate-limiting.
