This is because issue routing lets through only mails from listed users? I 
think we removed that limitation as our customers often forward mails to 
their colleagues. The drawback was that we suffered from some infinite 
loops due to bounces as well. Just FYI, we solved that by adding the 
following check to the handleSubscription() function of our workflow 
implementation:

         // don't allow sender of error messages (daemons) to be added
         // to the notification list
         if (strncasecmp($email,  "postmaster@", 11) == 0 ||
             $email == "fetchmail-daemon@stripped") {
            return false;
         }
