I think I see a (tangential) miscommunication in this thread.

I believe that the first mention of DSNs above should have said:

   A DSN may be sent by server.example.com to _the original message's
   bounce address on behalf of_ both recipients.

I don't believe that an MTA would send a Delivery Status Notification to
_recipients_ that it has determined should not get the original message!

I don't think that this materially affects this discussion but I thought I
would point it out.
