There is actually a risk of false positives in doing that. Whether it
affects you or not really depends on your users.

Suppose user1 has accounts with you and some other mail server, but
has their other mail forwarding back to their account with you. Then
suppose [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The server at them.example.net will forward it back to your server
with an envelope sender address of <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and
recipient of <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Cheers,
