Actually, it may, so if you decide to code it up (and it /definitely/
ain't gonna happen if you don't), you need to be careful.  If your
change catches something or reports a false-positive or false-negative,
it could cause other bounce processors to miss the message.

I wish the bounce processors had a better test suite, but you can (and
should) add your additions to tests/test_bounces.py and make sure
everything there still passes.
