Same boat here - started happening a few weeks ago. I added some 
.procmailrc filters that capture the vast majority of this voluminous 
bounce spam: 

:0 
* ^From: Mail Delivery Subsystem 
.maildir/.Bounce/ 

:0 
* ^From: Mail Delivery System 
.maildir/.Bounce/ 

:0 
* ^From: MAILER-DAEMON 
.maildir/.Bounce/ 

:0 
* ^From: postmaster 
.maildir/.Bounce/ 

I do an occasional cursory inspection of my Bounce mailbox - so far, no 
false positives.
