How to stop bounced bounces?!

I've got some users setup with email forwarding (to their ISP mail account) on my domain using the /etc/mail/virtusertable.

Some of these users are on AOL who seem to be bouncing suspected spam messages back to sender.

These messages very rarely reach their senders since the spam is sent from fake addresses.

My problem is that the original bounced email then bounces to my postmaster address.

It's not a problem as such; more of an inconvenience to receive these bounced bounces throughout the day and night.

Is there a way to stop it without stopping normal bounced messages?

Thanks
