mail-address-loops-or-bounces

The contact's mail address either loops back to itself or is known to bounce.

Loops happen because an address is package@packages.debian.org or to package@packages.qa.debian.org. Bounces happen when the receipient, typically a mailing list, is known to bounce mails.

The mail address must accept messages from role accounts used to send automated mails regarding the package, including those from the bug tracking system.
