In Postfix, the address that is presently recorded is the result of any
internal rewriting such as mapping "[email protected]" to some internal
"[email protected]", that may not correspond to any public address
of the recipient.

But as I've said before, we reserve the right to make the localpart a base64
HMAC to curb abuse.  There is no expectation that that address is to be
understood by anything other than the responsible MTA (cluster?) in question.
