Why? It's where you are going to send error messages. Oh, I see, you are
thinking of it as a replacement sender, which in a way it is. I dunno.
It's been that way for a long time and of course I can't remember if
there is/was a reason. There might have been, and then again I might
just have set all verifies to recipients when I introduced the
distinction, and not changed that one.

The only thing to do is to change it, and see if any tests break...
