Ah, right, I had replied to that:

only, bugzilla didn't like my mail:

<bugzilla at bugzilla.balabit.com>: host bugzilla.balabit.com[195.70.41.85]
said:
    554 5.1.1 <bugzilla at bugzilla.balabit.com>: Recipient address rejected:
    undeliverable address: mail for bugzilla.balabit.com loops back to myself
    (in reply to RCPT TO command)


Anyway, it seems counter-intuitive to me to be able to combine other
things and not sources, but it's not a big blocker for me.
