"Bounce" has yet another meaning. I believe Mutt refers to
redirecting e-mail as "bouncing" it. In other words, if mail from
someone(_at_)example(_dot_)net comes in to bob(_at_)example(_dot_)com, Bob
can "bounce" it
to sue(_at_)example(_dot_)org and it appears to come from
someone(_at_)example(_dot_)net(_dot_)
I think we should avoid "bounce" completely. We should say "reject
with an SMTP failure code" and "generate a failure notification message"
because those phrases are unambiguous.
Ah, very clear indeed.
