The exact same way that filtering mail from MAILER-DAEMON@anywhere
prevents loops.

Set up a list TEST-L.  Subscribe a broken address to it, that will get
a bounce from [log in to unmask]  Post to the list.  Catch
the bounce message because MAILER-DAEMON is filtered.

Now add 'Filter = Allow,[log in to unmask]

Now post to the list.

Now dive for cover, and be ready to inject a 'HOLD TEST-L' command when
you're tired of watching the looping. ;)

There's some mail systems that use 'administrator@' instead of [log in to unmask]
That's why that address is in the default filter list.
