Exactly. If you don't redirect the errors in that manner to go somewhere
else, those kinds of errors would go back to the original sender. By
setting errors_to, it causes the forwarding to be completely invisible
to the original sender.

It can also make tracking down problems a bit more difficult, so you
could also forward to postmaster@??? or something just
to be safe.
