No, the message does not bounce because I am sending it from a
dynamic address. The message bounces because the recipient
(or their agent) has taken direct action to _make_ it bounce.
At this point, it is their problem. They chose to discard
emails, and they do not care about false positives in their discard
policy; that's where the bug lies, and that is where the fix must go
in.

Hell no I won't. I may tell her the next time I met her that
her email interface was borked, but I won't jump through ridiculous
hoops to help promote bad practices.
