There are ways to handle this situation, though. If you have an ACL that
can verify the recipient address is not valid, it can set a header that
a later router can check and just drop the message in the bitbucket. But
this could be bad if you really wanted to return bounces to people who
only mistyped a legitimate address... So you'd probably only want to do
it for incoming DSNs, meaning a null sender.
