It's a great example of why domains are a good idea and why using the
return-path or other relative routes is a bad idea.  Domains or any
other absolute addressing system would have optimized the delivery
route.  You can't optimize relative routes, because there is absolutely
no guarantee that the FOOBAR host at one part in the route equals the
FOOBAR host on some other portion of the route.
