My advice? Throw away the gateway and find one that works correctly.
Doing this results in your users NOT getting 99.99% of valid/legitimate
DSN notifications (since they all use the NULL sender, as prescribed by
the RFCs).
Blocking all messages with a NULL sender is not only violating the RFCs,
and will possibly result in your getting on certain blacklists, like
dsn.rfc-ignorant.org, it is lazy and dumb.
But, to each his own...
