Exactly! That's the point. If you send mail to both blurgle@??? and
blurgle@??? you will get a single bounce message. Perhaps what you
really need is for the bounce to come from mailer-daemon@???, where
conceptually "c.com is a service organization that handles mail for both
a.com and b.com". After all, nobody thinks it strange if they send out
mail to xxx@??? and they get back a bounce message from
mailer-daemon@??? because of some delivery problem.
