I have a server on the net that handles mail for my domains. It does
this by just putting all mail for each domain into one mailbox (one
per domain). I don't want to have to set up an individual mailbox for
each account in each domain I have.

When the mail is downloaded via fetchmail, my local machine knows what
accounts are valid and will bounce any that aren't. Fetchmail appears
to be sending bounce message, but then delivering the message to the
postmaster address anyway. I just want to turn off this postmaster
delivery for mail that should be bounced.
