Done.

Done. All emails bounced with the following msg:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its 
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

   recipient1 at example.com
     Mail sent by user nobody being discarded due to sender restrictions 
in WHM->Tweak Settings
   recipient2 at example.com
     Mail sent by user nobody being discarded due to sender restrictions 
in WHM->Tweak Settings
   recipient3 at example.com
     Mail sent by user nobody being discarded due to sender restrictions 
in WHM->Tweak Settings

New headers from bounce msg:
