Sendmail is good at bouncing mails, and we need to know about that. Since the return address is always someone external to our company (and don't even know about) we need to handle bounces and retry again (sending it directly btw). If after some time the mail still bounces, we need to be informed and take appropiate action (which sendmail or qmail cannot handle, or I don't like them to handle that..).
