Quoting from Sunil Shetye's mail on Wed, Sep 05, 2001 at 12:06:33PM +0530:
fetchmail does not send any bounce message now on a bad address.
I think the patch in 5.8.17 has removed the call the send_bouncemail()
causing no bounce messages to be sent in any case.
This patch should undo it...
OK, now I'm officially confused.
I remember taking this code out. It was after 5.8.16 in response to a
bug report by Quoc Luu. He reported:
v5.8.15 is still handling bad addresses weird: it sends 2 bounce messages
to the sender and forwards the original message to postmaster without any
error message.
So I removed the source of one (1) bounce message in this case. I believe
my reasoning was that the SMTP listener fetchmail passes the message to would
itself ship a bounce message in this case. Do you have any idea why this is
not happening?
