The bounce goes to that sender. However, the bounce is generated on
the smarthost which is not "my" machine. Since most of my users are
computer-illiterate, I'd like to have a copy of the bounces. Since the
are generated on a remote system and addressed to one of my users, I
can't configure myself in. So I'd rather have the bounces generated on
my local system.
