CHris,

Fair enough question...

We noticed that there are a few outside receiving servers that are rejecting
email because our server is listed on backscatter dor org. As you can see
from the config below, we also check this list.

How it relates is: I want the config to send bounces to our (local) users
only, if one is necessary. If I understand that backscatter thing correctly,
If we sent to an outside server with a F=<> and there is more than on
recipient, we could keep getting blacklisted to ips.backscatterer.org. So
sending local bounces only should cure that (should it not?).
