I mean an address like 'postmaster-nocallout@???' which,
if you received a probe for that address, would not cause _further_
callouts.
To do a header_sender callout with a null sender is broken, as Steve B
discovered. The RFC2822 sender address may never be used as an RFC2821
sender, and may reject all bounces.
