Where are the email headers of the following backed up messages?
I'm using mbox format mailboxes and the standard /var/spool/postfix.

I'm wondering if my server is just trying to bounce messages or if
some host on my lan is trying to spam innocent people.  Is there a
simple way to tell postfix, don't bounce to nonexistent email 
exchangers?
