I quite agree that good E-Mail neighbors generate bounce messages that
can be easily recognized as such.  However, in the context of a
Deliver 2.0 delivery file like the one I posted a few days ago, it is
assumed that there is some Smart Mailer out there who will recognize a
non-zero exit status from Deliver and generate the bounce message.

Smail 2.5 typically fulfills the Smart Mailer role, and its bounce
messages always look like they came from the user MAILER-DAEMON@host.

My partial bounce-loop solution posted in a previous article was
*intended* as a partial solution for use in concert with Smail 2.5 or
some equivalently "smart" mailer.
