Just want to confirm... I'm correctly reading that stream_by_recipient()
does not accept for all recipients before filter_recipient has a chance to
[temp]fail?
And this means white/black/greylisting implementations that operate in
filter_recipient should still work - without sendmail having to generate a
bounce?
