The "MAILER-DAEMON" form is a long-standing heritage from Sendmail,
appears in "countless" aliases files, and may even in some environments
be subject to case-sensitive matching. As much as you may feel it is
"SHOUTING", on balance I think we should not change the default address.
You can of course customise your bounce templates as you see fit.
