We are also looking for something to handle this problem, but we are
interested in having a bounce message go back as if from the
mailer-daemon with an appropriate error message. By the time the
$HOME/.procmailrc is read, procmail is running as that user so the recipe
probably needs to go in /etc/procmailrc. Has anyone done this? Is it
better to just throw mail into the bit bucket?
TIA

effectively solved by placing a .forward in the account of the user
