Keith, we were referring (atleast I was) to the fact that they do EXIST 1
RCPT limits for a NULL return path.  There are plenty of systems that work
in this mode whether you care to believe that or not.  The conflict you seem
to forget is that your multi rcpt-to/null return path allowance is a source
of spam.

No, what *I* said was that since, *in general*, a bounce only has 1 MAIL FROM
to generate RCPT TO's, and there's a lot of idiot mail admins that feel
justified in saying "Since this is true 98% of the time, we will force it
to be true always...."
