The fix for mail-mangling brain damage is not to apply further mangling.
People do send genuine mail from postmaster@, and rewriting it _to_ <>

direction.

Your argument almost had me convinced, but what really clinched it
was that once my little experiment cleaned out the bogus mail from
postmaster and mailer-daemon that was really DSNs, then I started
noticing (ought to be) DSN mail from clamav ... there is no end to fiddling
with the heuristics to try and detect all the DSNs.  So I won't bother.

Is clamav a really braindead product?  Or is this a user configuration error?
