Re: mailer daemon responses not being trashed...

Hi Sam,

The big problem with bounces is that ASK does not interfere when you send a
message. This means that it's impossible to "tweak" the envelope to force
bounces to come to a specific address we can validate.

Your patch, however, presents an interesting solution to the insane amount of
bounces that domain owners (like me) receive. I'll have to tweak it a bit,
but I'll insert your solution in the CVS version of ASK (2.5.1 soon).

Thanks a lot.
Paga
