Hi Eric Hilding!  I'm a UNIX administrator, spamfighter, and a virusfighter!
The ideal would be to take 
Mailer-daemon(_at_)[anymachineaddress](_dot_)aol(_dot_)com
but for now at least the two MONSTERS causing me the problems.

# --------------------------------------------------------
# AOL BOUNCES
# ---------------
:0hc
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: eric(_at_)garlic(_dot_)com
* ^From: Mailer-daemon(_at_)mrin18(_dot_)mail(_dot_)aol(_dot_)com
* ^From: Mailer-daemon(_at_)mrin19(_dot_)mail(_dot_)aol(_dot_)com

        Those last two lines will never be executed as that recipe will 
STOP the first line (!^FROM_DAEMON).

{
:0hc
 !trouble(_at_)AOL(_dot_)COM PMDAtropos(_at_)AOL(_dot_)COM
| $SENDMAIL -oi -t
}

        You don't need to pipe forwards into sendmail.  Try this:

:0
* ^From: Mailer-daemon(_at_)mrin1(8|9).mail.aol.com
! trouble(_at_)aol(_dot_)com abuse(_at_)aol(_dot_)com 
pdmatropos(_at_)aol(_dot_)com

        If you have the time, you could also use forrep and prepend text 
onto your bounces explaining that you don't want these e-mails and ask 
for them to take action.

I don't think I quite have it together.  Help is appreciated.
Another 50 bounces have been received in the last few minutes.

        Ouch.  Why are you getting these bounces?  I'm friends with David 
O'Donnell (pdmatropos(_at_)aol(_dot_)com) from the anti-spam scene, I'll 
mention the 
problem to him if these bounces of yours continue.

        Regards,
