At least bounce it to the "from" address rather than the "errors-to"
address.  (Since the bounce is apparently based solely on the "from"
address, I don't see a problem with bouncing it there.)  Another
option would be to block it at the SMTP level (though I guess this
means that you, as sysadmin, would still see the error), rather than
generate a bounce message.
