Why should any system accept mail for an unknown recipient and then mail a bounce? That's the primary cause of backscatter. These systems are just as likely to accept the message, then check SPF, and mail a bounce :-) This is getting off topic for the Cyrus list though. The question relevant to Cyrus, I thought, was whether a sieve filter can catch backscatter. With header-only tests, not so much.
