Hiding information in error messages for the benefit of the clueless
is seldom a wise strategy because error messages are not only for the
clueless. They also exist so that the clueless can relay them to the
clueful when they seek help.
As a postmaster, I would prefer bounce extracts to show me as much
useful information as possible to assist me in rectifying the problems
which caused them.
