Nope. action_bounce does *NOT* add an attachment. It returns a 5xx
SMTP failure code, and that's it.

Probably. Complain to Trend. The whole point of "<>" as the
sender path in a bounce message is to avoid loops like you describe.
It's amazing how many large companies who should know better (Trend,
Cisco come to mind) produce completely brain-dead SMTP implementations or
"security enhancements".
