The vital point that you're missing is that you need to be treating a
callout in the same way as you treat a delivery.
If you're doing a sender callout, that's the equivalent of delivering a
bounce to the sender.
If you're doing a recipient callout, that's the equivalent of delivering
a message to the recipient.
In both cases, the callout is just to go through part of the transaction,
but never to send DATA.
The reason for it being a bounce is that a bounce is the only thing you
are likely to send in an automated way to transpose the sender into a
recipient.
In the case of a recipient callout, then you have both pieces of information
properly.
Bear in mind that some recipient addresses do not have to be valid senders
(eg. role-accounts, lists etc).
Hope this makes it a bit clearer
