Your system tried to send a message with an empty sender (probably a
bounce) to dng-bounces@???. The remote system didn't accept
this.

I do not see, how this is related to the mentioned CVE 2019-10149.
(Maybe I'm missing something.)

Here again - I may miss the point, but I do not understand, how the
dependency on emacs4 (configuration?) gives an easy way to block
it (what?).
