It should be simple: all you'd have to do is make sure that your bounce message comes from a known-deliverable address, such as Postmaster or MAILER-DAEMON (you *do* make sure that that's a deliverable address on your system, don't you?). So if a bounce message is undeliverable, it bounces not to the guy whose account is expired but rather to some postmaster somewhere. This trick is already in widespread use for most bounce messages, or otherwise our networks would be dogmeat. Craig
