Perhaps it's a good idea to accept mail to SRS addresses claiming to be
from postmaster@ ... In addition to CBV reasons, I have found a small
number of normal bounces that use MAIL FROM: postmaster(_at_)* or MAIL FROM:
mailer-daemon(_at_)* instead of mail-from: <>
<MAILER-DAEMON(_at_)sitename> is very common for UUCP-setups as UUCP does not
allow empty envelope senders.
Then those systems forwarding bounces from such UUCP setups to the open
Internet seem to violate a largish number of RFC, for example RFC 2821,
section 6, unless they rewrite bounces' return paths to <> before
forwarding them. I don't think working around brokenness like that is
necessarily a good thing.
But anyway, wrong list?
Cheers,
Dan
