Hi Keith,

the idea is to send out the e-mail into the wilderness of the internet
instead of write it directly to the local users inbox.
This way the dnslookup will find the old host and delivers it there
instead of local.

It would also prevent "domain-hijacking" on shared hosting
environments. Usually a customer can set up aol.com (this is a bad
example, because aol.com is probably prevented, but there are tons of
other domains which aren't), set up a catch-all and hijack all the
e-mail, which the other customers on the same server send to aol.com
