Nope. :)

I believe that is usually the case.

True -- but the sending mailserver assumes that the correct address is given.
Suppose I get a virus. The virus connects to mail.declude.com (suppose
that we don't run mailserver AV software here), and says "I've got a
message from "Andy_Schmidt @HM-Software.com" to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". mail.declude.com tries sending it to the
HM-Software.com mailserver. If you have IMail AntiVirus, it immediately
gets the message that the E-mail bounced. mail.declude.com then sends a
bounce message to Andy_Schmidt @HM-Software.com. The bounce ends up going
to the wrong place.
