What do you think? 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.)
