Yeah, I knew that.  I was asking about the *converse*.  Is it true that:

  When the MAIL FROM identity is composed of the localpart "postmaster"
  and the HELO identity, then the reverse-path is null.

The reverse path *could* be null, but it doesn't *have* to be null.

e.g. if I have an employee designated to respond to the postmaster mailbox acting/responding as the postmaster, that real person responding would have a reverse path, despite your other 2 conditions could match.
