    I disagree.  DSN's report the final recipient, not necessarily the
    address that is in your mailing list.

This does not have to be true, which is precisely my point.  The
Original-Recipient is the place to be carrying around the actual
subscriber address.  Of course, it requires all the MTAs along the
forwarding path to be "playing nice"....

Bigfoot is a great example of a forwarding service provider that
obfuscates the original delivery address.  And the list goes on....
