Don't just block random users. Create a rule something like:
if (sender contains POSTMASTER or MAILER or DAEMON)
AND (cc, to, or bcc contains php-general@lists.php.net)
DELETE
Doing things like this, adding in filters like "if subject contains
VIRUS" and other such things make it very unlikely you will filter good
e-mails.
If you want to get creative throw in some things to look for headers in
the mail body. The point is to block things that 99.9% of these bad
bounces would be, but that 0.0001% of users would be. And frankly,
anybody who subscribes to the list from mailer-daemon@foo.com deserves
to be blocked for being dumb. :-)
Variations on this theme can be used to stop all bounce notifications
for e-mails you didn't send. It took me all of 5 minutes to set up
similar rules last night and I'm happy to say the only emails I get are
people yelling at the people who bounced. :-)
