Generally, that's a very bad thing, it might be worth investigating to find out 
why they exist.  In general bounces should not exist in any significant volume. 
And probably means something bad is happenning that could result in your server 
being blacklisted due to back scatter...

Grab a couple of examples from the work folder and send to us directly if you want.

The setting you want is this:
	g_retry_bounces "3"
