	That change is already under development, and will hopefully
arrive when the new Internet Mail gateway system goes into production.

	As for the current system, you have to pass back the DSN
information out-of-bands to the MTA, and right now we have no way of
doing that -- all the bounce text is generated on the back-end
mainframe, and effectively sent out as a brand new message.
