I've been thinking about how to handle this... the "blank" address is a
significant value, kind of like passing the object "Void", if you will. I
was thinking about how we could possibly handle an empty collection of
recipients, but this is really just a special kind of recipient.
Anyway, how's this for a solution... add an optional line to the conf file
that specifies an address to use if someone sends to the blank address.
Then when someone does MAIL FROM: <>, we add that address to the recipient
list. If they do not specify in the conf file, we could default this to the
postmaster address as that seems appropriate. In addition, in the SMTP
handler we'd want to make sure you couldn't send to multiple addresses if
you sent to the blank recipient.
Comments? This isn't very difficult and would enable James to receive this
bounce messages.
