Sounds good.

Makes sense.  Generally, accepting mail from the empty envelope sender
is not a good idea.  The only valid reason for a sender to use that
address is for bounces.  This includes certain types of
auto-responders like TMDA.

I'm assuming that you want to use a dated envelope sender so that
bounces come through anyhow, even if you don't accept the empty
sender.

A workaround is to accept mail from 'mailer-daemon@*', which is
usually the From: field on bounces.

There's not an undocumented way, either. :(  For a while I've had, in
the dark corners of my mind, the idea of allowing multiple rule
matches.  I could never come up with a good example of why that would
be necessary, though, so it hasn't been a priority.

Your question may be the impetus to get me to dig that idea out again
and tussle with it a bit more.
