     bounced = the sender gets an error message indicating the message 
did not get delivered.

     dropped = no one gets an error, the message 'vanishes' without 
trace and no one is informed.

We don't think a message should 'ever' be dropped (vanished) because it 
destroys trust in the email system and creates a nightmare for people 
trying to trace problems.

We don't use the return address.  The sender will only get an error if 
they are the real sender.
