I do agree that I don't /quite/ see the value-added to the recipient of

it and generate a failure DSN.

In general I agree but there are still situations where an MTA (mine
for example) accepts a message intending to forward it somewhere else
and then the forward fails.  Either send a DSN or drop it on the floor
at that point.
