That is certainly the path I was looking for (preserving data w/o altering
the message), but the size of the data I need to pass is a function of
the number and length of recipient address, so I can't guarantee <1000
chars.

On the plus side, I got the autoreply idea you suggested working
really well. The only difference between it and a :fail: at this point is
that multiple failed recips each generate their own email instead of all
being returned in one bounce, which is hopefully inconsequential.

Thanks for your help on this!
