?? I'm confused.

As I read the 4.4x spec the "use_postmaster" option applies only to
verify *recipient* callouts, not verify sender. In which case the
callout uses <postmaster@$qualify_domain> (instead of <>) as the
*sender* address, not the recipient address.

4.41 NewStuff doesn't mention that this was changed, did I miss a
memo?
