   They add them to blacklists: http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/policy-dsn.html

No, this isn't it at all.  There are cases when legitimate addresses
will bounce auto-responses.  One obvious one is when the user is over

interested in---but in general, they want to know if their auto-reply
wasn't received by the user if possible.)
