But if the option to allow the user of the sender address in callouts
for recipient verification exists, surely this also brings the changes
of callout loops. I don't see an awful lot of difference between the
implementation of "use_sender" on recipient callout vs. sender
callout. Please let me know if I'm missing a vital point here :-)
