It seems to me that there are (at least) 2 distinct problems in that 1st

X should have authorized the sending of that mail.
- Joe-jobs: A user should only get bounce notifications to mail that
the user authorized to be sent.

in separate specs.

Yes, MASS is about the former, whereas the latter is handled by BATV et
al.
