Please don't release code which makes exclusive use of email addresses
for catchalls.

If a message is reinjected the original envelope will be lost. Such a
change to the code would make a qmailadmin generated catchall useless
for serialmail, vodmr and anything else that uses the original envelope.

In a catchall situation the original envelope is vital! If you reinject
all messages to the catchall target you discard the only record of who
the actual message recipient was. Please don't do this.
