If you can manage this, start breaking an RFC and throw out anything with a MAIL FROM:<>
And remember to do the world a favor and un-do that change when the immediate problem is past. :)
That should get rid of the bounces but not the annoyed replies from hostile users.

Another good way to avoid annoyed replies is to not have disclaimers longer than the actual posting. My favorite: "... if you are not an intended recipient, you must not copy, distribute or take any action in reliance on it." Do you have any legal citations to justify a "must" as opposed to a "pretty please with sugar on it"? "If this message is being transmitted over the Internet, be aware that it may be intercepted by third parties." http://www.openpgp.org/resources/downloads.shtml and pick something. It's more effective than a disclaimer.
