What we can do about it:
------------------------
 1. Do not apply SRS encoding for mails where we already do SRS
 decoding.
 2. Or, only apply encoding for From eaddresses whose domain publishes SPF
 3. (or maybe easyer to implement): only apply SRS decoding if From is
 <> or <postmaster@ ... >
 4. Some throttling mechanism (limit number of SRS encoding /decoding
 operations per minute that come from a same IP or IP range)

5) When sending out a message that was due to an SRS0 bounce, use a
   null from address (<>) like you are supposed to use.  There is no
   reason to generate a new SRS0 for the MAIL FROM address, even if it
   isn't null.
