I do the same with these stupid bounce messages.  You'd think by now 
that mail servers would not even send them anymore.  <sigh>

SP will never become perfect at detecting these especially if you get 
some bounce messages that you do want to accept.  Training it to 
recognize these will reduce the number that you see though.
