And new problems created. First of all, if something goes wrong with the
delivery to user at foo.com, the original sender doesn't find out about it.
Secondly, it could even create a bounce loop, couldn't it? After all, the
envelope sender on the forwarded message will be user at example.com, so if
the user at foo.com address bounces, the bounce goes to user at example.com,
which forwards it to user at foo.com, which bounces, sending a bounce
user at example.com, which forwards it to... and so on.
