I would like it to produce exactly the same output as if the address had
never existed. :fail: produces different output.
I can produce the output with an address that is forced to fail (like
using an ${if eq {0}{1} {foo}fail}) but I don't want to have to duplicate
that everywhere I want it, or maintain a different db file of failed
addresses (makes it hard for customers/users to add them and its less
clear if its elsewhere).
I have a director that deals with 'unknown@localhost' and produces something
that is _almost_ the same as a true unknown bounce, but not quite, and
I'd like to have it correct (like with the failed recipients header, etc)
and not have to keep maintaining it to be as close as I can get :/
