When there are problems with the mailing system, the postmaster gets
copies of private email mailed to him.  It's analogous to falling in
his lap.  It happened to me today.  A friend had sent me mail, his
system provided a bogus address, I didn't get it, my postmaster did.
He handed me a printed copy.  I was lucky that he could tell it was
intended for me.  And I was lucky it wasn't very private in nature.
