did I mention the special case of "postmaster"? obviously *you* control
how the postmaster address is used, and I don't think it is unreasonable
to reject bounces (ie. from <>) to postmaster if the postmaster address
is never used as sender. I'm explaining that you can not reject bounces
to multiple recipients *in general*.
