Play with owner-* aliases so that bounce will not go to original sender.

Example:

Name.Surname:  name@machine, +420600123456@sms.telco.cz

becomes

Name.Surname:  name@machine, sms-name-surname
sms-name-surname: +420600123456@sms.telco.cz
owner-sms-name-surname: name@machine

You can replace owner-sms-name-surname: name@machine
with

owner-sms-name-surname: postmaster

if you want bounce to go postmaster (instead of user).


I do not have complete sure what happens if both
name@machine and +420600123456@sms.telco.cz causes error.
In other words is on that situtaion on transcript for
name@machine error also error text from +420600123456@sms.telco.cz
address. But because owner-* alaises causes envelope to
be splitted, you should expect that error message goes to
different transcript.
