The envelope FROM address *should* be "nobody at your.domain" which
should go to /dev/null.  If it is that way, then the remote side is
*ucked up and sending bounces to the message header "From" address
rather than the SMTP envelope address, and is not properly
implementing SMTP.  There is no way you can work around all such
broken software out there.
