Asking is easy. This requires adding an attribute type, adding a
command-line option to the Postfix sendmail command that won't
conflict with future Sendmail development, changing the queue manager
to read the new attribute, adding the attribute to the delivery-agent
protocol, adding the attribute to the bounce/defer/trace client
API, adding the attribute to the bounce protocol, changing the
bounce daemon.
