Addresses in the form of:

    SRS0=key@domain-part

Are only used in the database variant of SRS. Those, of course, cannot
be reversed. :)

If you're a large ISP, sending millions of emails out a day, I reckon
that the database variant soon becomes impractial, though, as you need
to keep all those addresses in the DB, for at least several days!

But yes, database addresses cannot be reversed in the manner I described.
I do not think the OP was referring to those, though.
