There's a difference between bogus virus warnings sent to the alleged (and
probably forged) original sender by "helpful" anti-virus software and
virus bounces. How do you stop the NDNs for virus messages to nonexistant
users vs NDN because the user can't tell the difference between 1 and l?
I've seen our domain mangled by that confusion many times.
