Not sure if you can get your logic in up the stream though before it gets to you. If you can you never have to deal with bounce messages and the entire queuing process that goes along with it, mail server maintenance, etc.. Bounce to the enveloper sender, not the "From" header. I also believe bounces are supposed to have an envelope sender of "<>" to avoid bounce loops... not sure on that though.
