If you were feeling creative you could write your own sendmail wrapper for
these accounts that would fake a bounce.  The way I'd do it is to remove the
catch all and send an email yourself to get a bounce for the exact
formatting, replace the catch-all, and the get to coding.  Basically in the
wrapper you just add the appropiate bounce headers to the email and send it
back out to the offending party (the party that you've grep'ed/awk'ed from
the incoming email).

Wouldn't be easy, no, but should do what you're wanting, assuming you can't
find a better solution.

HTH,
