I am using address rewriting for all addresses @rath.org: - Every outgoing mail has its envelope from rewritten to @bounce.rath.org, a domain name that isn't used for anything else - Bounces (i.e., mails coming with envelope from <>) send to @rath.org are rejected as backscatter. - Mail to @bounce.rath.org is rewritten back to @rath.org So far this has worked perfectly. But of course, there might besoftware that sends bounces to the From: or Reply-To: address. So ifyou want to use this not exclusively for your own address, youprobably want to be careful.
