Re: How getmail deals with delivery errors and with bounce e-mails

I am not sure what you mean by that.

The idea is that your ISP or hoster provides and maintains a web and mail server for very little money for your-domain.com, including virus 
and spam protection. It is a commodity feature nowadays.

I know that for us western countries a stable Internet connection is no problem, and paying for managed hosting is no trouble either. Mail 
server experts are all over the place, and we all work in excellent private companies with no money worries whatsoever. But I just want to 
try a different way. Just for fun. 8-)

So I thought I could set up a "catch all" e-mail address on the ISP and handle everything locally. Many people must be doing this, or 
Postfix would not have developed the X-Original-To header. The trouble is, I could not find a complete guide yet about how they are doing 
it, or why this or that way is better (all the details).

Besides, I want the mail server to continue working when Internet is down. That is what Microsoft Exchange Server and its POP Connector, 
included with the Microsoft Small Business Server, used to do. Internal e-mail is not affected by Internet outage. It is actually a must for 
many companies. An open-source solution should outsmart Microsoft!

If you change ISP or web hoster, for whatever reasons, you have virtually no work to do: move the domain to the new provider, setup a "catch 
all" e-mail address, and that's it. Replicating all e-mail addresses on the provider does not make much sense if you think about it.
