So, my question is: why don't you set SENDER='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
or SENDER='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' or something similar if SENDER
variable is empty?

In that case, if user's forward is broken, then Courier is trying
to deliver a DSN message to a postmaster, not to a user with not
working forward. I think it's reasonable solution, because information
about broken user's forward is valuable for mail system administrator.

What's your opinion?

Yes, I think that's reasonable. The original reason for resetting the return address would be to be notified if forwarded mail bounces. I expected people to set up forwarding rules carefully, and take care not to indiscriminantly forward all mail, rather only ones that match narrow filtering criteria.

But I suppose that's too much to expect, from people, so I guess this will have to change. I'll change the return address on forwarded mail to a null address, which will bounce to the postmaster's mailbox automatically.
