[the rewrite header argument deleted to save bandwith, such as it is...]

If somebody sends you a message with bogus addressing from your view, bounce it
back to them with a "This is bogus to me, please rewrite your freaking headers
and re-try. Thank you so much.". Don't rewrite the headers. If you can't
transport the way you want you are entirely within your rights and privileges
to bounce the message. Re-write could be considered rude. Besides, it looks
like the percentage of sites that can successfully rewrite is vanishingly small.

Note that this is then a negative feedback system. The bouncee will either get
the hint, will find another transport path, will stop sending mail, will
install a better mailer, or will just enter an honest profession.

I think all of this rewrite stuff is just people indirectly boasting that they
can understand sendmail.
