Backscatter solutions

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

as every MTA-Software uses other Templates for these kind of bounces, there
is not "one" header you can use for this kind of filtering.

We use the vbounce rule from spamassassin, which adds *BOUNCE_MESSAGE
entries to the header X-Spam-Status to filter these kind of backscatter.
