The scenario is that the SPF result is PermError, but various heuristics
have determined that the mail should be accepted. For example,
a mechanism of A:1.2.3.4 results in a "bestguess" result of "pass"
when coming from 1.2.3.4. In these cases, the sender still needs to
fix their SPF record - so I send a DSN while accepting the email.
But the end user never reads the DSN, often interpreting it as a rejection,
hence the idea to send something to postmaster instead.
