Personally I don't like it, but perhaps carefully worded informative
documentation doesn't hurt.  Functions for dealing with the corrupted
addresses (for matching purposes) could be included, perhaps.

(Assuming TMDA contains the part which bounces mail, asking the sender
to answer with a cookie to deliver the mail.  That's annoying, and I
haven't understood how two people not on each other's whitelist could
ever communicate with each other if they both uses the scheme.  And it
looks ugly.)
