You should only generate bounces for your own users.
This means that when you receive mail, you should decide wether you want
the mail or not within that SMTP session [1] (accept, defer or reject).
You should not first accept mail and then change your mind and generate
a bounce message.
This reduces the number of joe job bounces. And the remaining joe job
bounces will not be generated by your system.
Joe job bounces are rather annoying and should be avoided whenever
possible.

AFAIK [1] doesn't work with system filters. It does work with Exim 4 +
Exiscan patch. Filters can be used for other purposes of course.
However, the use of Woody Exim 3 in combination with virus or spam
filtering is problematic.


Regards,
Rob
