I am sure Erich can answer for himself, but may I posit one possible
reason:

The people who read bounce mails are typically those who sent it, which,
99% of the time, is a person who is completely unfamiliar with mail
systems.

To them, something like, "You cannot sent mail to that site using this
mail server", or somesuch, would be less confusing and more personable.

Just a thought.

On the flip side, as soon as the word "rcpthosts" leaves a user's
mouth, I am pretty sure I know exactly what the problem is.
