Yep, got that.  And thanks, I'll add RFC 6409 to the list of RFCs on
the wiki.  Done.

If client do send an auto-response with a NULL return path, do they
usually store a copy of that message on the server at all?  I would
imagine they don't.

I also see from the KEYWORDS rfc (5788) that $MDNSent is registered
for the MDN purpose.  It almost seems that a SENDMDN command is what
is indicated for this usage.  Again, the "client can't screw it up"
philosophy.
