Because cancelmsg does not generate the normal undeliverable messages.
- Also from the cancelmsg man page:
A reason is optional. The message does not disappear into a
black void. The message will be returned as undeliverable, citing
reason. A generic error message will be used if reason is not
specified.
So you can either specify the reason yourself or let cancelmsg use a
generic one. I don't want either of those options. I want Courier's
normal undeliverable message so the sender will be able to see the
proper reason the message was undeliverable (and not just "cancelled
by administrator").
