If you have control over your mail server, you can try the ideas given on
page: http://www.postfix.org/BACKSCATTER_README.html. If you are not
using postfix, you can adapt it to whatever mail server you are using. If
you do not control your mail server, some of the ideas on that page can be
adapted to procmail recipes.
Although I understand that you want to punish the offending backscatter
server(s), I don't recommend you send the backscatter back. In my
opinion, automatic return of any email should done very cautiously or not
at all. It is a good way to produce backscatter.
However, email can and should be *bounced* (refused) based on email header
analysis and techniques like greylisting. That is the realm of the MTA,
not procmail.

Good, this is currently working and it bombed out over 23.000 messages
today but I have over 35.000 waiting from the last weekend...
Any better ways to stop them sending out backscatters?
