Hi James,

if you read the qmail manpages (addresses(5) specifically), you can see
that this a qmail extension: this is the envelope sender of a double
bounce.
What I fail to see however, is that how it can be a security problem.
It is not very difficult to generate envelope senders that pass your mx
check anyway.
