Other than having reports sent to a specialized organization, it is also
possible to have the failure reports sent to a separate inbound mail server
or pool of servers.  This protects regular inbound (MX) processing from
being overloaded. A further measure in such an event would be to
temporarily send such mail straight to /dev/null.
