[LBBS-138] mail: Forwarded messages through Office 365 can fail DMARC

This is a pretty good summary of the issue: https://support.google.com/mail/thread/18808871/forwarded-email-bouncebacks-are-sent-to-original-sender-not-the-forwarding-address?hl=en

When messages are sent from A -> B and forwarded from B -> C, if C rejects the message, B will send a bounce to A. This can result in "leaking" the secret forward-to email address to A (and even the fact that it's being forwarded in the first place).

Where C is the BBS, it may be more appropriate to have C accept the message and separately send a bounce to B.

This could be configured for specific email addresses used for forwarding.
