What exactly are you going to rewrite the sender to? The address from
which the message gets forwarded?
Gee, guess where the bounce would go?
The bounce would go to the forwarder. So what? The forwarder can simply forward (backward) the bounce as well. Is this a serious problem?
Yes. Because the bounce bounces (after all, everything to the forwarded
address gets bounced, right?), and since the return address is reset to the
forwarder, it go back to the forwarder.
But, by definition, the forwarder forwards all mail, resetting the return
address. So the bounce gets forwarded again, it bounces, goes back,
forwards, bounces again, etcâ
