I bet that it means that the aforementioned Mr. Salz is to busy to sort
out getting a bounced message home, and that he trusts his Internet host
to get it to its proper place.  You lose out when he tries to respond
only to find that you'd mailed him down a one-way street.  att, for
example, is listed by pitt in the u.usa.pa maps as "the world's biggest
leaf node" because they normally deny forwarding privileges to mail.>
