How many emails (bounces) will be rejected because the local part

My gut feel is that the second cost is larger. I don't have data to
back that up though.
From `man dot-qmail':
For convenience, qmail-local converts any uppercase letters in
ext to lowercase.
The context:
When qmail-local forwards a message as instructed in .qmail-ext (or
.qmail-default), it checks whether .qmail-ext-owner exists. If so, it
uses local-owner(_at_)domain as the envelope sender for the forwarded
mes-
sage. Otherwise it retains the envelope sender of the original mes-
sage. Exception: qmail-local always retains the original envelope
sender if it is the empty address or #(_at_)[], i.e., if this is a
bounce
message.
qmail-local also supports variable envelope return paths (VERPs): if
.qmail-ext-owner and .qmail-ext-owner-default both exist, it uses
local-owner-(_at_)domain-@[] as the envelope sender. This will
cause a
recipient recip(_at_)reciphost to see an envelope sender
of
local-owner-recip=reciphost(_at_)domain(_dot_)
Note that .qmail files handle virtualdomains (normally those for which
the host is an MX).
