Quoting writer's interpretation:
"Bounces should only be sent if the receiver knows they'll be "usefully
delivered." This is code for: Don't sent bounces when your system
rejects spam or virus traffic, or you'll become an Internet pariah."
That sounds nice in theory. But how can you ever in a sane manner
determine with reasonable certainty a bounce will be usefully delivered?
If you try to make this work it makes it also more likely legitimate
bounces will not be sent out. Which in turns conflicts with:
"Silently discarding messages is not prohibited, but it is strongly
discouraged."
Or am I missing something totally obvious?
