A faq.

If you require support debugging your setup, please describe your setup
(platform, database engine, mta, etc) and more importantly include level=5 logs.

Also please don't run 2.1.3, but update to svn-trunk. That will fix several
problems in imap and pop present in 2.1.3. [I'm determined to finish the
search/sort rewrite before releasing 2.1.4, grrrr.]

That said, imo bouncing is best done in the mta, not in dbmail. Still, dbmail
*can* provide reliable delivery-status-notifation, but *only* in lmtp based
delivery, and not in dbmail-smtp. They share the same code, but pipe based
delivery has no mechanism for letting the mta know about failed delivery.

If you need to use pipe based delivery (dbmail-smtp), it's best to let the mta
query dbmail for valid addresses and let the mta worry about bounce generation.

In your case, I suspect delivery was successfull, hence the lack of bounce
generation. But I'm just blowing wind here without seeing the logs.
