Q: not bouncing rejects

I have a server that simply relays everything it receives to one specific
account on another host. (Including what ever spam it receives.) That
worked for a long time.
But the second host has now been configured to reject messages if they are
spam, which is good except that the first server then tries to bounce the
rejected spam, which is bad.
That bounce is what I want to avoid.
Ideally I would like the first (the relay) to save any mail rejected by
the second host in some kind of dead letter area (instead of ever trying
to bounce it at all).
Saving any mail rejected by any host in a dead area would also be ok.
(The relay doesn't send much mail except the stuff it forwards to the
second host.)
Simply tossing the rejected mail would work, though I would prefer to keep
it so I can see that is being sent and rejected.
The key think like I say is for the relay to not bounce rejected mail
because it goes to other people who surely don't want it.
Sounds simple enough, but I haven't figured it out yet. This is not a
double bounce, nor is it a dead letter.
I suspect it's simple but I am just looking up the wrong things.
Feedback welcome.
