Because getmail does not do it, it just prints to stderr. Specifically, when the /path/to/mymda process fails here: [destination] type = MDA_external path = /path/to/mymda Most advice I have seen on the Internet runs something like /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver there. But that is not enough to get an e-mail if delivery fails. But I guess it's easier to say I'm Microsoft, right?
